Hei

DeluxeHazard both games deserve those numbers. COD made a fresh new start and Destiny was a great new release for gamers.


I don't believe Destiny should have that amount of players, bad game in my opinion.


Destiny should have been labeled an arcade game.

Half-assed Campaign? Check.
Repetitive as hell? Check.
Forgot about it a month after it was released? Check.

Its unbelievable that people even stand up for it being a great game. Honestly I would rather buy CoD than destiny any day.


Someone that agrees, thank you!

What? I can't get any of my friends to play Destiny, and everyone I know who tried it disliked it or gave up on it after the first month, and yet this thing is still growing like crazy? Who in the world is buying this game? And how come the far superior Borderlands didn't achieve these numbers?

Further proof you don't need to make a good game. You just need to know how to sell it.

Doesn't surprise me one bit AW was the best selling console release of 2014.

Also $11 billion is a huge amount of money!
