Here's an example of what may be going on... Of course I made up the numbers.
[b]DESTINY 1 preorders[/b]
PS3 = 100,000
XBOX360 - 100,000
PS4 - 100,000
XBOXOne - 100,000
This clearly shows 400,000 preorders
[b]DESTINY 2 preorders[/b]
PS4 - 75,000
XBOXOne - 75,000
PC - 75,000
This clearly shows 225,000 preorders
However, since there is no legacy console D2 game, is Activision comparing just the PS4/XBOXOne numbers and adding in the PC numbers? Hmmmm... I think so.
So, if you go by my theory D2 is out selling D1 (225,000 to 200,00)
Don't think Activision wouldn't pull this fast one on you. They're not lying, but they are playing tactics with the numbers. All business models do this. Even to their shareholders.
EDIT:
Destiny 1 was a huge pre-order, but it was also followed by a huge return to GameStop. I don't know about you, but I saw more used Destiny copies than most other games. The players left are just the small core of fanboys. The bulk of Destiny 1 preorders are no longer playing... so in what world would they pre-order Destiny 2? I'm not saying my numbers are correct, but I am implying that Activision did something similar to skew the numbers.
Sorry folks... something smells. But, I love the hate... love seeing fanboy muppets bend over.

U have many peeps buying all 3 platforms just for D2 and of course that 1 person is counting as 3 pre orders, so false bs on numbers right off the bat. Kinda like Jerry jones buying 1000's of tickets in the first decade of him owning cowboys, just so it would b televised and he could make the Pepsi etc. money. Bungievision can throw out these" manipulated Hillary numbers" all they want; truth is they know orders are sparse compared to real player numbers of D1, but they can't let the public know. I'm sure they will release another pre order "gift" in next. Purple weeks to bring on a few more pre orders. And yes, I pre ordered; they got my bill until the 2nd expansion plays out. If same bs by then as D1, I'm out from anything bungie/activision for life
