aviator1894003d ago

I didn't doubt the game would come to the next xbox for a second..

Great news.

AngelicIceDiamond4003d ago

Excellent news indeed, will be anticipating them at E3

Masta_fro4003d ago

wait...xbox one plays games too?? Awesome! /s

Jek_Porkins4003d ago

Thankfully, all these embargo's will lift and we'll hear more and more about the new games coming. I too never doubted this, I mean did anyone believe it wouldn't come to the next Xbox? lol

morganfell4003d ago

We all knew it was coming sans exclusive material. At E3 you will hear about the Vita version that has already leaked.

EasilyTheBest4003d ago

But where are the games.... Heres one of them.
This presentation mentioned they will show games at E3 but still this site is full of ppl saying, where are the games and they are disappointed theres no games.
ppl are nuts.
Or Fan Blind Boy

Destiny Made Over $160 Million In Microtransaction Revenue In Less Than 2 Years

Destiny has made over $160 million in MTX revenue, and these numbers only account the data from late 2017 to early 2019.

Sgt_Slaughter343d ago

That's extremely low for microtransactions, especially for a game that's essentially designed around it

LucasRuinedChildhood343d ago (Edited 343d ago )

This was back when the game wasn't free to play.

The figures are from November 2017 to February 2019 (1 year and 4 months).

Based on that projection, the MTX revenue for Destiny 2 likely would have been closer to ~$240m for 2 years.

Not sure if premium expansions are included in that figure either although ... I'd hope that they are though and that most of the revenue was for actual content like Forsaken.

People spend way too much money on cosmetics.

Rude-ro343d ago (Edited 343d ago )

Seasons($10 and just got bumped to $12) and dungeon keys($10 each, two a year) are through the eververse(micro transaction) store.
So for those two years, in order to play a season, you would pay through micro transactions.

Bungie Marathon will be worse since it's designed around it as well

Kurt Russell342d ago

It makes me sad to agree... but at the same time I am looking forward to giving it a go. Destiny 2 is so far in, I find it difficult to figure out what I am meant to do first.

buffig343d ago

I think FIFA alone makes over $1bn a year from mtx

anast343d ago

FIFA promotes a worldwide sport. It should make more money than destiny.

CantThinkOfAUsername343d ago (Edited 343d ago )

Let's compare something similar. Apex Legends and its ridiculous $18/$40 skins make EA a billion each year.

z2g343d ago

For as much as ppl complain how much they hate microtransactions, they sure don’t act like it. No wonder they aren’t going anywhere.

spicelicka343d ago

By "people" you're referring to millions and millions of people. Obviously the ones complaining aren't necessarily the same as the ones spending all that money.

There's millions that purchase MTX and there's nothing we can do about it

I've been thinking about playing through D1 again before it goes away...

CobraKai494d ago

That’s the sad reality of a game like this. I bought it, invested lots of money, and it can go away at anytime. I still think this was more fun than 2.

jeromeface493d ago

prob because 2 is a grindfest slog

spoonard490d ago

That's the bummer of 'games as a service'.
