Wait till sell through, retailer purchases is just indicative of general hype. Actual sales == consumer hype

You forgot the Wii U: 0
I bought mine digitally and many others did also. Hopefully, bungie gives sales numbers because vgc cannot know digital numbers.

In the next eight years, we're guaranteed to see atleast four more Destiny titles and Bungie is going to only be paid regular development costs, so we'll say 50 million per year, while Activision profits billions per game. Now I do agree it's Activision that took the risk as there's the possibility that Destiny wouldn't become the next big thing. In that case it would have been Bungie that won out. I just feel that Bungie's probably wishing they asked for more. |
Uh no, I don't think that's quite correct. Just because they have a contract that involves Activision investing X amount of dollars into the IP over 10 years, doesn't mean that that is all Bungie will get from games released. I would be _highly_ surprised if that were the case. There could be wording in there to limit Bungie's profits until the $500 mil investment is paid off, but there's no way the contract would stop bungie from getting a % with each game sold.

they are certainly getting a nice bonus.
But the vast majority of the profits will still go to Activision.

I always look foward to seeing some nice legs!

Wasn't GTAV the fastest to reach a billion?

Activision doesn't own Bungie though, it's a 10 year partnership that Activision's invested in. Think about Halo's profits over 10 years. Why on earth would Bungie agree to a contract that limits their own take so drastically?
EDIT: This isn't to say Activision doesn't get a very healthy chunk of the sales, especially until some kind of balancing of the initial investment is done. But after that? What sense would it make, especially with the amount of potential Bungie has shown they can achieve, in the very recent past?
Many millions of copies sold then. Before even talking about DLC, amazing. Whether it has long lasting appeal is hard to tell.
Also, is this game worth it? I'm not sure if to buy it or not because i wasn't keen on multiplayer in the beta but i liked the rest of it.
Xbox One, PS4 and Switch (+ Many Retro Consoles)

Can somebody please find the thread where everyone said that they wouldn't make back the 500m ever?
