I don't see how this is surprising or indicative of anything. I imagine a fairly large number of people here know how much was spent on the advertisement of this game, and that the PS4 version was the specific version that was being most heavily advertised. It's pretty clear why the game has those kinds of sales. It would, in fact, be sad if Destiny didn't do numbers like this because otherwise they wouldn't be able to make a profit.

Yeah but holiday MK8>Watchdogs and importantly MK8>>>Watchdgs for 2015 and beyond

you never know. it has 400k to catch up and if the PS4's sales stay vastly superior to the Wii U it could overtake it weekly. It's held it off with ease so far. 

chakkra said: You know..  while that statement is true, that is a phenomenon that doesn't seem to be happening with the Wii U titles. I just took the time to compare a few games taking into consideration the time they have been on the market and the place they are on this weeks chart (it is sad that I have nothing better to do on a Friday night but what the hell) anyway, it looks like the install base is affecting the Wii U games (people need to have the machines first in order to play the games after all) 19 Mario Kart 8 (WiiU) Nintendo, Racing 26,404 2,672,546 17 21 Watch Dogs (PS4) Ubisoft, Action 24,887 3,057,455 17 20 Grand Theft Auto V (PS3) Take-Two Interactive, Action 26,077 18,554,774 53 30 Call of Duty: Ghosts (PS4) Activision, Shooter 16,545 2,666,174 45 61 Super Mario 3D World (WiiU) Nintendo, Platform Pro N/A 44 It is worth noting that other games like Pikmin, DKTF, Zelda WW, Lego City etc, are nowhere to be found in the chart.

I think people should stop using Wii's sales as a standard for how Wii U games will sell. They're in two completely different situations. Noone seems to understand that Wii games had legs because the Wii actually sold well.

it's great to see new games like Watchdogs and Destiny having success, good for gaming overall :)

in 2 weeks... you make it seem like Mario Kart 8 is selling terribly, where Mario Kart 8 is a game that will be selling all throughout WiiU's lifetime, so it will catch up probably, not to mention that WiiU is selling nowhere like the Ps4

you never took into consideration the fact the Wii U's lifetime will more than likely be far less than the PS4's and given it came out a year earlier it might not be around more than another 2-3  years. 

Look at PS3 games like Assasins creed, resistance fall of man, motorstorm, cod4. All out in PS3's first year but were still selling 5-6 years later. Once they get sequels the original will probably keep trodding along considering it's where it all began. 

What's sad is that in two weeks I've pretty much given up on "Destiny" and yet "MK8" is still on the daily roster after many months. I have been playing more "Halo" since giving "Destiny" and honest shot, if that's any consolation.

"Many" is a very vague term. The game sold something like 7 million copies so even if 200,000 or 1,000,000 people(most would consider that number 'many') disliked the game, it is still in the vast minority. I'm not saying 100% of people loved the game, just that the word 'many' has a very vague implication. I'm sure there are people out there who disliked(or didn't care for) MK8, Gears of war, Halo 3/4, Mario Galaxy, Uncharted, GT5, Forza 5 etc but the general consensus is that the majority of people who played them, did like them.

Maby. It just seems to go in line with the rethoric of nintendo makes the best games we don't need any other games they suck anyway (and don't you dare say otherwise).

I'm not saying that every Nintendo gamer does that but it's something i've noticed.

Also i'm willing to bet that at least half the people that jumped on Ka-pi's statement haven't even touched a copy of destiny, so i don't get what there is to hate for them. I mean i don't like cod either, doesn't mean i need to trash talk it every time it outsells a game i like (which is like every time).
