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.

CraigyySanctorum I won't be surprised if this turns out to be a huge game, so many people are very excited for this release.
Knowing that all the hype it's been given. It needs to.
Honestly, I think people are TOO excited for this game, I don't think it'll be as good as everyone thinks. It will probably be a great game but just not that great. GTA V was one of the most anticipated games ever and IMO, it turned out to be terrible. I mean, it's a good game and everything but got so boring, so quick and I just think that's what will happen with "Destiny". Hopefully I am wrong though.

It will be a very big let down if the game turns out to be bad, but I hope it does turn out to be very good
