This beta delivered... can't wait the full game.
BTW September NPD will have PS4 over 500k units... crazy.
It needs 10 million, no? Edit - Seems like it was a bad twitter... not confirmed.
I was playing it on 3 different consoles. lol.]
Actually, i was.
Compared to the MMOs that had launched before it, WoW had an absolutely brilliant launch.
10-15 million was an optimistic analyst estimate.
A different analyst said it needed 15 million under the assumption that the game's budget was $500 million, but that number isn't confirmed. At the moment, our best guess is that $500M was a very high estimate that included things besides the dev budget + ad budget.
The $500M is not for the single game. It's for this and it's sequels.

Yeah, b/c it's closer to a billion.
And I quote:
"Were pouring everything it takes into Destiny to ensure it meets our fans' expectations, and our own. Activision is, too. But the budget for Destiny, including associated marketing costs and pizza Wednesdays, is nowhere near 500 million dollars."

Think you're safe!

Nobody knows~~~~
That's just the assumption people jumped to after Bungie said that the dev + marketing budget for the first game is not $500 million.
This makes me wonder if July NPDs will give a bit of unexpected results... There were some theories back in April (after February and March NPDs) that the Titanfall beta might have caused a blip for the XB1 in February.
Uh - Blizzard gave me like 4 weeks of compensation for the lousy WoW launch.
The game barely worked at all during the evenings with constant downtimes.
Same thing with Diablo 3's launch. Only, that one was bad for about a week and a half before things got better.
Blizzard is not perfect either.
To call WoW's launch brilliant is delusional.
They never said that, they said that the dev costs would be nowhere close to 500 million and that for marketing costs you'd have to ask Activision.

Enjoyed my time with it.
Roll on September.
I can imagine this being a thing. Guys trolling opponents by dancing while being shot at not being hit lol.
Now only if the PVP was fun and not bogged down by awful controls,movement and netcode.
The Alpha and Beta spoke for themselves.
The interest in Destiny was tepid at best until people got their first hands on it and it literally exploded. That's a sign of a good fucking game.
It's not the same thing, but whenever I completed the Devil Walker event in Exploration, I always bee-lined for the wreckage so that I could dance on top of its metal corpse. That the game lets you do that is nothing short of phenomenal.
People playing for PVP will be disappointed. I thought it's been pretty clear the PvE with friends/randoms was the main draw.

Sure, I tried it for 30 minutes, until I stopped because I was bored.
i hope there's more epic public events. i like to play solo most of the times but it is awesome to tackle public events with strangers
I liked how a lot of people camped Skywatch in the hopes for the big Fallen vs. Hive Warsat defense. That gets so damn crazy so quickly, especially in the last 25%, which is basically all yellow-named enemies on both sides.
And then it gets more awesome when you discover that you can instigate an all-out war against both sides and go through that craziness without having to wait for the event to start.
I can see Activision spending 350 million to sell 10+ units of Destiny.

Now when the numbers are this great let's hope Activision won't start pushing microtransaction services.
