The most pre-ordered games in the USA ranked by unit sales.
If you are looking for a bargain, check out the huge discounts across the entire WatchDogs series on Steam.
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.
Titanfall is going decent like atm surprised a little
If Nintendo announces the Mario Kart 8 release date it would soar to the top. I know I'm ready to pre-order. :)
I bet infamous second son outsells titanfall for xbone.
PS4 multiplatform games are leading the chart. So much for USA being Xbox Nation.
Oh and some interesting points:
THE ORDER 1886 > HALO 5
TITANFALL > INFAMOUS
NEXT-GEN VERSIONS OF GAMES SELLING MORE THAN LAST-GEN VERSIONS
Naturally loyalists would say Titanfall is selling more than inFamous becuase its a shooter and shooters are more popular. If that was true, why is The Order 1886 outselling Halo 5? We have very very little info on both of these games. You would think Halo would be leading the pack no matter what.
