Forums - Gaming - [Prediction] Destiny will go down as the best-selling traditional console game ever (UPDATE: I was way off, never mind)

 

How much will Destiny sell (lifetime)?

< 10 million 32 27.83%
 
15 million 29 25.22%
 
20 million 32 27.83%
 
30 million 7 6.09%
 
40 million 2 1.74%
 
50+ million 12 10.43%
 
Total:114

not gonna happen no where near 55M unless you count its sequels my guess is 20-30M LT for destiny

gta5 is at already what 30M+ and we still dont have next gen version in there which i believe by yrs end all versions added on just gta5 alone will be well over 40M

Well, after thinking it over for a little while, I conclude that my estimate is absolutely off. My new prediction is 25 million overall

Regardless, no fancy dancy HD console game will ever reach 55million. There just simply won't ever be enough gaming PCs that can handle the game/consoles to get to that number. 

I'm more than sure that GTA 5 will be pretty close if not over 55m, ps360 versions alone could reach 40m(since they already should be somewhere about 35), ps4 - 8m+, x1-5m+, pc - 3m+, at the very least.

Even Call of Duty took one really well liked game to take off. Destiny sales will be a lot closer to 5.5million than 55million. 

Install base on new consoles is still low and its a new IP so it won't sell well on the old consoles. 10-15mil would be a safe bet unless they take a really long time making the sequel. If Destiny is really well liked though that puts the sequels in a really good position to sell well.

Its going to do more than 5 million on launch week alone.....way more



If they include a WiiU version it'll sell over 50+ million!!

You will be horribly terribly wrong. I'd be shocked if it hit 20 million.


I'll be shocked if it hits 15

Thanks for all the great memories!

I predict 15 million units will be sold on all platforms. It's still too early for the numbers to skyrocket to those levels since there is still a relatively small userbase on the two main consoles. And of course, the T rating can bring this game up to more gamers, especially with the lack of games on both platforms at this date.



Im guessing around 7 million on consoles.

I believe that Destiny will finish with around 55+ million sales across all platforms, which is right in front of Minecraft (I'm not going to count Wii Sports since that was a bundle-only game).

The game has a $500,000,000 budget for marketing and development, and is planned to have a much longer life-cycle than most games. Not only that, but it's releasing on 4 consoles too, with a PC release not completely out of question.

It also helps that it has some serious developer recognition beind it (Bungie), and that the game actually looks like it'll live up to the hype and more.

Now, I'm probably horribly, terribly wrong on this, but for some reason it makes sense in my head, lol

After thinking it over, I realized I must have been possessed or something when I made this thread, cause no way is it going to match Minecraft on a new generation. My new prediction is 25 million

do you mean xbone xbox360 ps4 ps3  combined?



Something we don't know is if they will adopt a WoW like sales model where the original SKU sells for years and years but additional major expansions are sold annually. If they do something like that even 50+m could be possible.
