Call of Duty continues its lead while Pokemon X and Y and Beyond: Two Souls enter its final week before release. The Xbox One version of Destiny enters the chart while the PS4 version gets a boost.
Destiny has made over $160 million in MTX revenue, and these numbers only account the data from late 2017 to early 2019.
That's extremely low for microtransactions, especially for a game that's essentially designed around it
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.
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
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.
Let's compare something similar. Apex Legends and its ridiculous $18/$40 skins make EA a billion each year.
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.
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.

In Episode 1 of Spot On, a new weekly news show, Gamespot talks about the dangers of chasing a trend.
Playing Destiny 1 on PC has been something fans have been requesting for years. It looks like Destiny 1 is now playable on PC via the RPCS3 emulator.
-Dem PS4 titles dominating next-gen pre-orders!
-Wii U and Vita am cry in the corner with no games on the chart.
Destiny PS4 = 61k
Knack = 47k
Hmmm Interesting. Destiny is coming in 2014, Knack is a launch title. I guess the platformer fan isn't your typical PS4 early adopter?
Another interesting note: NO TITANFALL on the chart. Not even on 360. This is pretty alarming considering the hype its been getting. I'm sure it'll show up within the new few weeks though!
I preordered ghosts, go ahead, press on that disagree button.
I've pre ordered pokemon and it's coming tomorrow, yay, I also have watchdogs pre ordered on Wii u and ps4, waiting on infamous.
