Destiny Pre-Order Numbers by Platform in U.S.
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?
[b][u]It's important to note that these numbers only represent the United States.[/u][/b]
Discuss.
Edit: Added a grand total.

Edited by Twohothardware: 8/15/2014 6:14:10 AMSince those are just US numbers it's because most of Sony's advantage in sales isn't from the US but globally. There will also be a lot of Destiny players on Xbox for the fact it's being developed by Bungie. This is actually a good thing if your a Destiny gamer in the US on Xbox because all you should be concerned about is the player counts for the US as those will be the only ones you'll be getting put into matchmaking with.
