Looking at those numbers i noticed two very important things (outside of the PS4 vs X1 sales):

- PS3 outsold by a considerable margin the Wii U again this week, (Tales of Xillia 2, Ar no Surge and Fairy Fencer F are keeping the PS3 alive and its even competing with an 8th generation console, and people said this "niche" Jrpgs didnt matter...)

- The PS4 finally outsold the Wii U on Japan with a number of 23,196 vs Wii U number of 6,225, and thats with a WESTERN game like Destiny, so i wonder how things are gonna be over there when games like Persona 5, Disgaea 5, FF Type 0, FF XV, Neptunia VII, Fairy Fencer F Advent Dark Force, God Eater 2 Rage Burst, Senran Kagura an many others get released on japan and worldwide.

just some thoughts.


Look at chart top selling games are not niche jrpg games on ps3

yeah my mistake, it was only due to Destiny, but anyway i already edited my original post, so it has the correct info now.

Sony should offer both so everybody will be happy



PS4 - over 100 millions let's say 120m
Xbox One - 70m
Wii U - 25m

Vita - 15m if it will not get Final Fantasy Kingdoms Heart and Monster Hunter 20m otherwise
3DS - 80m

One of the most common complaints is a lack of content - empty spaces, insufficient/poor story.

None of that would show up in an Alpha or Beta.

Good thing the storyline isn't important for this game. The meat is in the co-op Strikes, Heroic weekly strikes, Raids, Crucible matches, farming for loot, playing with friends, etc...

Just like how people don't play Diablo for the storyline. They play for loot. In this game you not only gain loot, but that loot needs to be used in order to gain EXP and level up themselves. It has PLENTY to do and it will only grow from here.

What's I don't like though is that you personally have zero experience with the game, meanwhile continue to spread negativity as if your opinion carries weight. You are mearly repeating the opinions you choose to latch onto without any realworld experience of your own. Unfortunately you chose to latch onto the negative, even though the positive opinions far outweight them.

It's not very flattering for one in your position. I meant this in a constructive critism sort of way.

I find the bolded hard to believe. There is zero need to make this personal, if you cannot help but do so, perhaps find conversation elsewhere.

This is a Bungie game, it is absolutely relevant whether the story is any good. Especially for a game marketed as having an amazing story arc. As mentioned above I have played the Alpha and Beta. It takes little more than a Google News search to establish there was a broad level of disappointment at the ultimate lack of content in the game, relative to expectations.

You of course, have no more evidence to support your position than I do mine. And mine is not nearly as broad as you seem to believe. It is, precisely what I said: A lot of people have very expensive Destiny regret.

You don't need to regret your purchase for what I said to be true.

Have a great day

Wowza those PS4 number are like Black Friday numbers but not on black Friday damm that Destiny effect was hughe. White Destiny PS4 is the way to go it seens.

You could take your own advice... you are a mod, no? Play the game first and go back to talk about it... stop to make assumptions from nothing.

You can even just talk with anybody that played it... you will be surprise that the "level of disappointment" is in your mind

Bungie made a lot of mistakes but none of them are critical or hard to fix (the game will grow big in the next months).

- Story: the game have a interesting story but Bungie choose just to tell a little via cultscenes (because the game is a co op experience and not single-player) but it grows the universe via Dead Ghosts + Grimoires... the story is really big but they made the mistake to tell it via app on PC/Mobile instead to put it inside the game (or use cultscenes).

- Social features: the games needs ingame Clan support and a ingame chat feature... the socia features needs to grow.

These two are my biggest complain for now... if they fix that (the social features mainly)  the game will grow from a solid 9/10 experience to 9.5 or even 10/10 experience.

Maybe Eurogamer and Game Informer are right the game will be majestic in one year.

And you are dead right people trashing it didn't played it (aka Starcraft).

I commented that a lot of people have expressed regret with their purchase. I also said explicitely that the game is not a bad one.

I also replied directly to you that I have in fact played the Beta (and Alpha).

I don't understand the extraordinary defensiveness over such a mild comment

both? you mean western and japanese games? if so well, yeah you are right but they already announced a lot of japanese games just this couple of weeks so now we only have to wait at least, cant wait for Persona 5, DIsgaea 5, FF Type 0 among others, 2015 is gonna be great although this games may come to the west early 2016 to be honest.

Eh? Do you really think that Destiny would be the most played PS4 game ever if people didn't like it? (Former) Bungie fans hating on it due to it not "living up to" Halo are not exactly representative of the whole population, you know.

I hardly believe the bold part... show evidences of people that played it that regreted their purchase.

You didn't played the game.

You don't understand how you hate over the game is baseless.
