[b]Note: I would like to make clear that the statistics in paragraph 2 are not the main focus of the post. These statistics are merely meant to provide a numerical example for those who would like one. I realize that the amount of users surveyed is not optimal, and I will provide updates with better data every so often.[/b] I've seen a considerable amount of people claim that the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 are holding Destiny back. I'm not here to argue whether they are, or whether it's the players' faults for not upgrading. That's a different discussion for a different day. Today, I'm here to show why Bungie hasn't dropped last gen yet, and why it will be a little while before they do. I collected some data, and out of 74 people, 4 were on 360, and 4 were on PS3. This equates to 10.810810810...%. That means that approximately 11% of the playerbase is on last gen. I did some research, and as of May 2015, approximately 20,000,000 people play Destiny. Granted, this number is outdated, and the 74 users from whom I collected data do not represent the entire playerbase. Anyway, this equates to about 2,000,000 people playing on last gen. Assuming that these 20,000,000 all pay $140 for all the year 1 content, that's $280,000,000 in sales from last gen alone. Granted, this number is likely inaccurate in relation to the current amount of people playing, but I think it works well enough to prove the point. Were Bungie to drop last gen support tomorrow, for example, they would be losing a significant sum of money. I believe that Bungie is going to wait for a while before dropping last gen support so that more players can upgrade. I think that the most likely time for this to happen is with the release of Destiny 2. From a business standpoint, this would make the most sense. They could sell the next two or so small expansions on last gen, and it would give players another year to upgrade. By then, nearly the entirety of the playerbase will be on current gen, and it would be safe for Bungie to drop last gen support. Tl;dr [spoiler]Read the post.[/spoiler] Edit: I gathered more data from my poll, this time from 136 people. Out of those, 16 were on last gen. This equates to about 11.7647%. This is very close to my original number, and I predict that this percentage will stay in the range of 10-15%. I will update with more data.
