Wow looks like Xbox one is going to have the most successful March in Xbox One history
isnt sony basically treating it like cod franchise on 360 last gen? Could certainly sell better on ps4 if it's the better version, has dlc first, beta first, exclusive content etc etc...Been wondering that also.
I don't know what that means.
Yeah they're money hatting it so there's no mention of other versions. I guess the money is working if some peeps are using it as fuel in teh warz.isnt sony basically treating it like cod franchise on 360 last gen?

Game is being associated with ps4 so far with marketing as well..

I don't think it has anything to do with "moneyhatting," but having better relationships with companies.
Lol.I don't think it has anything to do with "moneyhatting," but having better relationships with companies.
Nope, it's moneyhatting.
Lol.
Proof?

Not sure why MS would advertise Destiny at this point ahead of Titanfall and Kinect Sports. Destiny will probably sell better on the PS4 but I don't believe it move larger #'s of PS4's compared to XB1's. The game is on PS3 and 360 also.
What's with this super strange trend of treating Destiny like its a PS4 exclusive just because it has exclusive content? Early marketing doesn't change that either.
It doesn't need to move PS4s. PS4 is moving itself. It will have a higher adoption rate among PS4 owners compared to Xbone. That will lead to a mindset that it's better on PS4, and sequels will do better on the PS4 as a result. The same thing that happened to COD last gen.
No CoD 2 was the most successful launch game for Xbox 360 a year before PS3 was even on the market. That is what started CoD as being more popular on 360, not to mention the fact that gameplay was pretty much the closest thing to Halo which was at the time the most popular FPS on Xbox.
There are a ton of Bungie fans on Xbox One and Xbox 360 who will buy Destiny just because it is Bungie making it.
So what Microsoft did all of last gen by keeping COD/GTA 4 DLC and so much other stuff as timed exclusives was just them having better relationships with companies?
Are you so sure about that? A lot of people could just buy a PS4 since Destiny was announced during the Feb unveiling. Just like how the Monster Hunter fans jumped ship from PSP to 3DS.
And you didn't really disprove my case. That one year exclusive helped create mindshare.
Also FPS games still sell better on Xbox with Battlefield 4 and CoD Ghosts selling most on Xbox One this past holiday.
I don't think most Halo fans are jumping ship considering Halo 2 anniversary, Halo 5, and Halo TV announcements this year. And FPS fans are going to the platform for exclusives like Titanfall already.

True, nurse what do you think will happen when those same Bungie fans see the game running smoother, looking crisper, and having exclusive content on a cheaper console? They will probably flock and it's this possibility that has Activision salivating at having another megahit on the more popular HD console.
You better believe it does.

Don't you know according to Bobby himself that Destiny will be the biggest game of all time, OF ALL TIME!
Hmm, lttp, but reading the % without any numbers, is a hollow victory for MS. anybody and there monther can tell you, that 96% increase is subjective, it could mean 96 sales sold from a past 100 or 9600 extra sales sold from previous 10000. I do know in Marketing that the more a company spins, the dire the results, as spin equals making "bad" news look "good" news. Keep spinning away MS
he said it could be the biggest new game IP launch in history which is perfectly possible.
That kind of depends, Destiny that comes out in September will not sell forty million copies, but if he considers Destiny the base game as part of Comet, and Destiny 2, etc, it'll easily sell forty million over ten years.No he said biggest game of all time. And we all rightly mocked him.

This is what was being said. The audio of Kotick's words was posted.Those aren't one game and you know it. Might as well combine COD.

"[...]Destiny, our new game from Bungie, which has the potential to be our next billion dollars franchise.
estiny delivers a groundbreaking new universe and capitalizes on advanced connectivity to create a shared world action experience we expect that Destiny will become the best-selling new video game IP in history when it launches across Xbox and PlayStation consoles on September 9"
I accept your apology for spreading misinformation that were clarified in the thread you posted.
Destiny will be the best-selling video game in history.
CoD are distinct games, if every WoW expansion included all previous versions, would you consider them additional sales? For me, no, but for him? Maybe.Those aren't one game and you know it. Might as well combine COD.
Sorry but the actual audio and transcription from the call trumps Joystiq's bullshit to stir shit up.Seriously man did you even read the link. Like at all. I didn't post it for no reason.
Bobby Kotick said this it's right there in the link.

Update: As it turns out, Kotick's direct quote from the earnings statement is that Activision expects "Destiny will become the best-selling new video game IP in history," which is substantially different than being the best-selling game overall. We've updated the quote and headline accordingly. We apologize for the error.
More like a partnership. Sadly, Microsoft has made these kind of partnerships necessary to compete.Nope, it's moneyhatting.

I don't agree with the stance I just suggested, I was just stating a hypothetical interpretation. There are a lot of people who claim Tetris is the best selling game by combing all versions, I do not.

If you had actually read the thread that you linked, you would know this.
Don't be mad because Kotick thinks it will be more successful than Titanfall. Maybe it won't and you can be happy and rub it in his face in October.
