Destiny sales reach $325 million worldwide

4.5

Activision has pegged sales of Destiny at $325 million worldwide in its first five days, which follows last week's announcement that the MMO-shooter dungeon crawler shipped over $500 million into retail. We don't have time to explain how Activision has time to explain where it got those numbers.

"Destiny is a platform that will grow and evolve and we will continue to work closely with our partners at Bungie to bring a long line of new experiences and content to life in the game," said Activision Publishing CEO Eric Hirshberg. The company spoke to Joystiq yesterday about changes coming to the game, saying it has already "more than doubled" the number of public events players will encounter.

I don't even know what I think of Destiny yet. But damn, $325 is so much, for a video game.

Skurt Video games make so much damn money man..

Yeah, they make too much. But the problem is, they could charge us $70 and I bet most of us would still pay. IMO, They're too much...

I feel like it should be making more. It might be that once you buy it on one console, it's free on the other. It's probably having an effect on how much money they are making from sales.

This is an insane amount of money in the past 5 days, but I'm sure they have received even more money due to the fact people have also bought digital copies, so they probably received more money. But this is a great game, but not something to die over.
