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.

EthicsThlack It is going to need a LOT of support to break GTA 5.... i think it can do it because it's the halo we missed at halo 4 and a brand new game to playstation. I hope this and titanfall destroy COD for good.
i doubt it will break cod as there are too many cod fans. If only though.
Yeah, the only way any dev can break the Call of Duty cycle is by making multiple games, consistently, that are better. There's not going to be a one hit wonder that shoots down the whole franchise.

Kex I gotta admit, the screenshot makes this game look so cool.
Everything I have seen so far looks amazing. I can't wait

Thespian Titanfall seems to me that it would sell better but this game still seems fun.
We'll have to wait and see. No one knows what either of them are like to play.

Never, that guy likes to blow his own trumpet, It isn't even getting released on PC. It will sell tones but won't be a record breaker.
