No way that game was $500m. I just can't see Activision being that stupid. I personally don't think the game looks that good TBH (judging from alpha streams). Then again, I never liked Halo even when I had the original xbox.

lol why would this sell 5m+ anyway?

I don't get it.

I believe it will have sold this much by december 2015.

Cause it's the new IP from the renowned developer of one of the biggest gaming series in the industry and because it's hyped as hell?

Just because you don't get it doesn't mean others won't, especially since your opinion is not very representative of the audience this is aimed at, after all you seem to be a Nintendo fan.

For Destiny even 5m first week is not out of the realm of possibilities.

no

8-12 mio


not 15+

Will wait till the Alpha has finished downloading before I render my decision.

For my near baseless assumption I say 10 million sales.

I think it will sell a lot... 10m is easily within its reach.

Can i just comment on the $500m it cost to make, this is how much the expect the game to cost over the course of quite a few years (10 i believe).. i.e as this is a MMO game they need servers to run, bandwidth and support... so the game doesn't need to make $500m day 1 to break even. They will also be creating new content and need people to make content etc.

2.5 million first week on the ps4 alone sounds reachable. The alpha is great, so its going to cause more people to pre order the game just for the beta.

9-10 millions only on ps4
5-6 millions xbox one
3-4 millions ps3+xbox360

In my personal opinion it could do 20 million, 14 in his first year.
