I'll copy what I said on another thread. [quote]$500 million? Let's be honest. Destiny WILL NOT be selling 16 million copies. It's a brand new IP and there are plenty of people who don't know about it, let alone wanting to buy it. Casual gamers normally make up a game's majority sales, and none of the casual gamers I know of are interested in any game but their annual dose of CoD and FIFA. I would be very surprised if this game breaks 10 million in sales. Furthermore, the main MMO market, PC isn't even getting this game - and as a primarily PC gamer, I know of many who would buy this game for their PC in a heartbeat, but not for their consoles. It's going to be more than just an uphill struggle for Bungie and Activision to sell enough copies to make a profit. If the budget is $500 million, I think Activision will be relying on the people who've bought the game to buy microtransactions *shiver* and micro-DLCs, or rather, the bane of gaming. (and just for clarification, the Bungie-Activision Contract DOES say that there will be microtransactions and DLC in the game, which really f***ing sucks.) Basically, this isn't good. I guess we're just gonna have to wait and see.[/quote]
