Destiny to be 'best-selling new IP in history' according to Activision
Activision also reported $4.58 billion in revenue for the 2013 calendar year. The earnings represent a 5.76 percent decrease compared to that of 2012, in which the publisher earned $4.86 billion. It also reported fourth quarter earnings of $1.52 billion, a nearly 120 percent leap from its $691 million in revenue during the third quarter and well above its $1.26 billion projection.
Finally, World of Warcraft had 7.8 million subscribers as of December 31, 2013, an increase from the 7.6 million reported during the last quarter.
Update: As it turns out, Kotick's direct quote from the earnings statement is that Activision expects "Destiny will become the best-selling new video game IP in history," which is substantially different than being the best-selling game overall. We've updated the quote and headline accordingly.

DlCE I hate it when companies automatically suggest they are going to break records, Its way to cocky.
It's not even Bungie saying they will break records it's Activision. Bungie isn't cocky.
Next time read the article, trust me reading is fun.
