Destiny was recently announced as [i]"The Most Pre-Ordered New IP in History."[/i]
Here are the numbers by platform(as of August 2nd, 2014):
[quote][b][u]Total on Playstation:[/u][/b] 691,246
[u]PS4:[/u] 592,955
[u]PS3:[/u] 98,291[/quote]
[quote][b][u]Total on Xbox:[/u][/b] 688,587
[u]XB1:[/u] 486,440
[u]360:[/u] 202,147[/quote]
[quote][b][u]Grand Total:[/u][/b]1,379,833[/quote]
Despite Destiny primarily being marketed to the Playstation player base and PS4 drastically outselling the Xbox One, the difference in preorders(as of 8/2/2014) is small. Why is this?

Discuss.
Edit: Added a grand total.

Edited by A Saturnalia: 8/15/2014 4:51:43 AMMFW based solely on those numbers Destiny is still a flop. Even if you said every single one of those numbers were people buying the ps4 bundles its still losing 150,000,000 dollars
