Destiny 2 Confirmed and More Sales Numbers Revealed!

[VinWarrior]

Today, Activision released some Destiny sales figures and overall statistics. Note, prepare to be blown away!

 

Some people hate Destiny, some people love Destiny, and some people don't care at all about the game. Either way, the game is huge, as Activision stated over at IGN.com. The game has already earned it's marketing revenue of $500 million back within it's first few days, with a current number still unknown. Activision reported that Destiny's sales played an extremely large part in their Q3 2014 and is overall one of the biggest successes this year. Over 9.5 Million players are active in Destiny daily, playing between 3 and 4 hours each day. The success has lead to work being put on future expansions like The Dark Below, and the sequel, which was confirmed by Activision's Publishing CEO. He said, "Work has also begun on future expansion packs as well as on our next full game release, we're very pleased with the launch and continuing engagement."

 

 

Are these sales and statistics deserving of a game like Destiny, which has gotten an overall mediocre response? Leave your thoughts below! Thanks a ton for reading folks!

"We're very pleased with the launch and continuing engagement. Now prepare for a release every year or so with each sequal being more degrading than the last. Yes, this is our space COD."

Good find, Vin! It's kinda like halo, so I'd say It'd be new version of Halo and other halos, but different, Pretty much good game as Halo. I love Destiny. :3

A second one announced so soon? Peculiar.

Bungie announced sometime last year Destiny will span 10 years and 4 games. (or was it 3?). Thats the deal they have with Activision.

 

Nice article as always EK! Hopefully Destiny 2 is X1/PS4/PC only and fixes all the mistakes the first one made!

[Sadly Just AL]

3-4 over ten year, eh? Well, from what I've heard so far, I believe they'll need to increase the replay value on the next ones.

[Pbrabbit]

Love the article! I actually had no idea about this..but I'm excited! Can't wait!

[depressant]

Great find EK!!

 

This seems cool, and another Destiny will be awesome to play and see.

 

Looking forward to this!!

How on Earth are they going to announce that they're making the sequel already when they haven't even released all of the content for the first game?? Well I'm sure people will be getting it nonetheless, I mean I'm still going to get Destiny when I get a One so I guess I shouldn't be talking. To me though, it takes away from both the current game and sequel title.

Maybe they knew it would be very rough. After all, it was said that the first one doesn't have a story... Maybe it was a test run...

 

 

It was all an elaborate scheme.

Why don't they finish Destiny #1 first? Lol.

[Caboose The Ace]

All I can hope for is that the sequel is good.

 

Destiny 2 will be able to incorporate feedback fully into the game.

Destiny 2 will no longer be hampered by 360/ps3.

Destiny 2 will be a more polished experience.

Destiny 2 will have a better story.

 

Etc you get the point Destiny 2 I have no doubt will be a better game.
