Destiny is a leg game... sales won't drop.

PS4 alone will do over 5 million.

Mario Kart didn't have userbase for that.


wut?

no good reviews.

 

and there is no way it will do 5m on ps4 alone until end of 2014.

At least 52 good/positive reviews...http://www.metacritic.com/game/playstation-4/destiny/critic-reviews

Want to bet?


easy bet. but we wont get actual numbers. so what to use? vgc + obligatory +10% digital?

4.5m vgc number to be 5m+ overall



Around the Network

Not really sure if Destiny will have legs this holiday. The lukewarm reception seems to have hurt it a lot.

Unless LBP3 and Driveclub sell in miraculous numbers, I see Wii U and X1 storming back onto the market taking PS4's market share away.



I predict NX launches in 2017 - not 2016

Actually its attach rate is more like 36% so assuming it doesn't change, WiiU would need to reach almost 14m by the end of the year for MK to reach 5m...

nope...you know,it s undertacked here ;) it must have sold 3m till now!so attach rate is 40%+

Oh, right...sorry

+obligatory? What does that mean?

I don't know how you see a game that sells ~2.3-2.5m FW NOT reaching 5m before the end of the year with holidays yet to come.

wut?

i heard no word of mouth for this game.

no good reviews.

great initial sales, yes.

decent numbers for second and thrid week, yes.

decent numbers until the destiny bundle gets replaced by a hotter item, yes

 

but destiny is a leg game? surely not

and there is no way it will do 5m on ps4 alone until end of 2014.

What world do you live?

People are talking just good things about the game outside the internet bad reviews hate.

BTW the reviews are good... 8 average.

People is playing and enjoying the game... anedocal but everybody that said the game is bad of suck in VGC didn't played it (that tell a lot).

What do reviews have to do with legs? COD Ghosts had legs despite reviews
Destiny will have legs too specially as new content gets released and the game keeps getting media (and player) attention.

this is word of mouth: people who played the game talk positively about the game and get others to want and buy it. (increase in sales on the long run)

i didnt see that. sure many people who play the game (a lot) like it an talk positive. but i dont see the effect on the not already bought audience. i see many "not worth it", "could be better", "overhyped" talk

 

compareable to watch_dogs. great launch but no word of mouth



Nah mate, Nintendo isn't cool anymore. Destiny and PS4 however is.

People are underestimating Destiny legs. PS4 version alone will outperform MK8 LTD.


You can't underestimate what doesn't exist, and the returns will do into Activisions bottom-line as they struggle to sell off that initial 500$ million shipment.

It is exactly what is happening.

Again the only people that says the game is not good (because even reviews says it is good) are the ones that didn't played it in niche forums like VGC... even so in VGC have more people enjoying it when hating it
