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.
