Outside of the Sony community I dont think this game has that much hype; so its big amongst an already established fanbase. My personal belief is Sony fans feel they are sticking it to MS/MS fanboys by "stealing" bungie from them; not too different if MS fans went nuts over Fuse. Its cross gen multiplat, not a graphics driven game and outside of PS internet buzz, it seems like a decent Borderlandsesque game but nothing special. The reviewers havent gone crazy over(not saying there arent positive things said) the game either.
I think the white console is a much bigger deal than Destiny itself for PS4(seeing you can play a similar version with free online on PS3). I think the fact that X1/PS4 gamers are starved for games will have a much bigger effect on the games sales than the game itself. I cant wait to try it later today(X1, hopefully downloaded last night), but my PS4 owning buddy already prepared me to be underwhelmed.
Edit:Also wanted to add Watchdogs hype was MUCH bigger in the gaming community (IMO obviously, Destiny is bigger in the Sony community)
Getting an XBOX One for me is like being in a bad relationship but staying together because we have kids. XBone we have 20000+ achievement points, 2+ years of XBL Gold and 20000+ MS points. I think its best we stay together if only for the MS points.
Nintendo Treehouse is what happens when a publisher is confident and proud of its games and doesn't need to show CGI lies for five minutes.
