Destiny to be 'best-selling new IP in history' according to Activision
Activision also reported $4.58 billion in revenue for the 2013 calendar year. The earnings represent a 5.76 percent decrease compared to that of 2012, in which the publisher earned $4.86 billion. It also reported fourth quarter earnings of $1.52 billion, a nearly 120 percent leap from its $691 million in revenue during the third quarter and well above its $1.26 billion projection.
Finally, World of Warcraft had 7.8 million subscribers as of December 31, 2013, an increase from the 7.6 million reported during the last quarter.
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.

Gossip I don't want this to turn into another Halo.
I don't see what is wrong with Halo but hopefully the game differs from it. There are likely to be some similarities though

Dorkus Bungie will definitely get a lot sales with destiny but I'm not sure if they will get the sales they claim they'll get.
yeah completely agree with you on that one pal but who knows know one can predict the future.

LiaThird_Eye I wonder if this is the CoD killer right here.
Most likely won't be. CoD is a huge franchise and sells millions every year.
It may decrease CoD sales overall but it won't ruin them.
Gaming has room for both CoD and other shooters.
Agreed. And if CoD comes with a Zombie Mode comeback, its done. Zombies keeps CoD alive on some parts.
