Walmart Offers Pre-Orders for White PS4, PlayStation TV

Did you want to make sure you got one of the white PlayStation 4 consoles included in the Destiny bundle? Or perhaps you were more interested in the PlayStation TV, that wonderful device that allows users to play Vita games and Remote Play on a television? Not everyone likes going to GameStop in order to pre-order stuff though. Thankfully, Walmart has given us another option.

Mine is pre-ordered already (PS TV) and I can not wait for October 14 to get here.

On Amazon? I have mine pre-ordered as well, but not fully paid.

Maybe I should go with my local Walmart to save any time and mailing complications (i.e. I might not be home when it gets delivered).

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.

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

LucasRuinedChildhood346d ago (Edited 346d 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-ro346d ago (Edited 346d 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 Russell345d 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.

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

anast346d ago

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

CantThinkOfAUsername346d ago (Edited 346d ago )

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

z2g346d 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.

spicelicka346d 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...

CobraKai497d 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.

jeromeface496d ago

prob because 2 is a grindfest slog

spoonard494d ago

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