I kept my deluxe pre-order... No -blam!-s given about the $100.

That was kind of a given when they started offering the new exotic plus ghost exclusive for preorders on top of the stuff they already had. Theyre starting to worry some.

When I phoned the ps4 helpline to cancel my pre order once the beta ended, the guy I spoke to claimed he'd spent most of his day cancelling destiny 2 pre orders. I'll probably end up buying the game after release but me cancelling my pre order was simply me making a small one man protest.

Damn that's a tiny fraction of what it once was.

rule #1 never preorder rule #2 be patience buy new game rule# 3 sell ur game as soon as possible if you don't like it

Here come the fanboys to suck off bungie

We're BOYCOTTING destiny 2 on XBOX ONE. FLOP, FLOP, FLOP, FLOP 1. Missing content 2. Capped at 30fps on 1X so as not to embarrass the foreign console maker they have a shady marketing deal with. 3. Refuse to announce 1X resolution when they already know what it is. 4. No HDR

lol ouch. I'm glad the luster is finally gone and people finally seeing the game for what it really is.

You can blame d1 for that. Not d2 Congratulations. The troll got to number 1 in trending. Good job

[quote]www.vgchartz.com/preorders/[/quote] This is the source for the original numbers, that I'd like to add to for anyone interested. 12 weeks from launch, Destiny 1 had around 500,000 Ps4, 400,000 Xbox1, and 100,000 Xbox360. Ps3 was probably close to 100,000 as well. By the time of launch, preorders nearly doubled on each platform, and this doesn't include digital orders still. Now 12 weeks from Destiny 2's launch, the numbers are pathetic in comparison. 130,000 on ps4 and 120,000 on xbox. The problem is now that more people buy digitally, so the minor factor from Destiny 1 preorders is a major factor for Destiny 2 Except it isn't. Buying digitally means there's a longer process to cancel and get a refund and you've already dedicated to playing the game. These same types of people will also physically preorder as well, along with those who want to play but are afraid of how the game will turn out. And in the same timeframe, Destiny 1 already held 4x as many preorders as Destiny 2 with physical copies only. It also makes sense why these numbers are so low. Bungie has promised more than they have delivered on many occasions, with fun but repetitive and underwhelming content, and for such a coop game, many people with their mind set against the game can convince their friends not to get it either. I don't expect the final numbers to be lacking, [i]IF Bungie can step the -blam!- up[/i] by delivering on what they promise. (But another problem with that is that personally, they improved what was lacking and then made what was good, lack what made it good) Obviously I let my opinions slide in here, but the beginning stuff are the numbers to suggest what can easily be shown. (Edited for the digital refund policies)

I'm happy that people are skeptical of the game and not throwing money at their screens like last time.

I hope you're right Viper. I hope D2 flops so hard. It's the only way Bungie will understand that people don't like the direction they're taking the game.

There is a definite drop off in players interested in D2 as so many were burnt from disappointment of D1. And what I have seen of the game so far doesn't really make me jump and sing it's praises.

This is really more of a vent/ rant. I wanted to play this game so bad on PC when I first heard about it before the bungie live stream, if pre-orders were up I would of pre-ordered ASAP.... but.... Just after the bungie livestream PC pre-orders were still not up and then we found out PC was going to be delayed, since that time news of no random-roll weapons, limitations on customizing your guardians build with pre-set groups of abilities, no word of any 3rd sub-class, no transfer of characters from ps4 to pc has all left me with bad feelings. I mainly play this game with friends and run PvE and we all plan to go to PC from ps4, I enjoyed things like when ttk came out and the black spindle quest went up... we were all so excited to get home from work to attempt that challenge, but with the delay all those fun secret parts of the game will be spoiled, I can try to stay away from reddit but honestly when something like a black spindle quest is found every game news site spams out an article siting this and its going to be near impossible to not see these things. But this is just a minor problem and would not cause me to not buy it for PC.... however I would also love to hear bungies plan on how to keep raids alive now that random rolls on weapons are dead. Yes the raids are fun but unless the loot pool is massive you will probably get everything you need from the raid in a few runs of it. I love this game, so much so that I may even pick it up for both ps4 and PC because waiting that 6 weeks is going to be hell.... I know the delay was to optimize the pc version but it just overwhelming feels to me like this was to sell 2 versions of the game to people who wanted to migrate to PC. At least I'll have 6 weeks to play the game before I end up buying it again for PC, this will give me time to see if there is more depth to the PvE than just running the strikes and raids once for that pre-set roll on a weapon followed by exotics that are easier to attain than when 3oC was added into the game ("We want Destiny to not feel like work and feel like it’s taking up your life" -game designer at bungie) ... heck i may even have all the items in the game within a month and feel as if i have nothing to hunt or strive for in PvE.

You are obviously void of any intelligence. Of course the first game, which was brand new, developed by the guys that made Halo, would have more pre orders because there was no basis to judge the game.

A lot of people remember what happened with D1 so I think the lower numbers are warranted. But if the game reviews well at launch I think the numbers could go way up.

Source? And is this digital as well as gamestop? Because no one really goes to gamestop anymore

Is it really a flop though? D1 was hyped up in next levels, and now there's people who aren't pre ordering out of caution like me. I'd rather wait for a month after release, and pre order numbers doesn't mean the game is gonna fail, and it was kinda obvious that D2 wouldn't surpass D1 in sales.
