Chart Track:
FIFA 16 (-74%) remains unchallenged to claim a second All Formats No1 crown this week.
A Tuesday launch for ‘Lego Dimensions’ leads Warner’s new Toys to Life title to a debut at No2. Despite being the third Interactive Toys launch of 2015 and the second in two weeks, ‘Lego Dimensions’ debut sees it comfortably surpass week 1 sales of both ‘Disney Infinity 3.0’ & ‘Skylanders Superchargers’.
In the sector as a whole it’s the third best launch week, behind both ‘Skylanders Giants’ and Skylanders Swap Force’. Take 2 also enjoy a strong debut with another Tuesday release ‘NBA 2K16’ entering the chart this week.
Week 1 sales for the franchise are up by more than 53% over last year’s entry, which makes this week’s No3 the best week 1 seller in the series to date.
With two new arrivals in the Top 3, ‘Destiny: The Taken King’ (-20%) and ‘Forza Motorsport 6’ (-32%) are both down two places to No4 and No5.
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.
DualShockers Writes :It's not the best of times to be a MultiVersus fan. Following a 99% player base drop over the course of eight months, the game's online features will soon be shutting down to allow Player First Games to get a full release ready for 2024. It's not quite died in the way I thought it might, but it's certainly entering a period of stasis that I don't think it would undergo if there hadn't been such a mass exodus."

It's too late to overthrow FIFA. It's so far gone.
This is one of many games the media can't change people's views on.
Fifa is too big a brand now. So, handing out lower scores or bias one liners isn't going to change a anything lol.
I'm use to the FIFA formula, and it is where the majority play including my friends. I'm not about to revert to PES.
Fifa claiming number one spot is the natural order of things :D
Fifa always go well in europe.
Prob didn't help I imported my Lego Dimensions from France for a good 25% off.
