Why are so many people on this forum in denial over the success of Destiny?

I see threads on here day in day out about how Destiny is a complete flop and that Bungie are gonna have to dump this series and move on to something else because it is so unpopular. Yet when you look objectively at the criteria for a successful game, Destiny is one of the most successful new ips in recent memory, in February it already had [url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-31161845]16 million registered users[/url]. In comparison, Watch Dogs (another successful new ip), which had similar hype to Destiny, had only sold [url=http://www.ubisoftgroup.com/comsite_common/en-US/images/pressrelease_downloadablemm_20150212_050959_ubisoftq3fy15englishfinaltcm99193930.pdf]10 million[/url] by the end of 2014. In case you need any more proof of Destiny's success, log on to your XB1 (if you're one of the few who has one) and look at the 'top games right now'. It is guaranteed that Destiny will be in the top 5, it's usually top 3 and ahead of Advanced Warfare. MS's flagship franchise Halo rarely even appears in the top 10. To summarise, the rabid Destiny haters on this forum need to give themselves a reality check and stop making themselves look stupid. Your personal opinion on the quality of the game has no bearing on its overall success.

    Watch Dogs is actually a full game. Destiny is 50% of a game. Destiny didn't even come close to being to what they said it would. I hope they do abandon it because they lack the intelligence to make it what it was intended to be. If they had the smarts, we would have some kind of story, lag wouldn't affect every raid and Crucible match and cheaters wouldn't be running rampant. I preordered over a year in advance... I know what this game was meant to be as I actually researched it before buying it. Destiny could have been the best game ever if another studio had been behind it. Bungie's group split when they partnered with Activision... the smart ones apparently left and the janitors finished the game. Keep drinking the Kool Aid fanboy.
