Activision: Destiny Will Become The Best-Selling New IP in History
- Thread starter Steven Bogos

I have no doubt that Destiny will do well, but best-selling new IP ever is a long-shot.
By the way neither Super Mario Bros. nor Tetris (for Game Boy) were new IPs, the former being a spin-off of Mario Bros. and the latter being a port of a PC game. The real best-selling new IPs are Wii Sports (bundled with Wii) and Pokémon with 22 million and 20 million sales respectively.

On the one hand, yes it does. On the other hand, 40K is basically an aggregator for every sci-fi concept ever developed, so pretty much anything is going to have some similarities to it.alj said:
As for the topic, "Person in charge of company touts company's product" isn't exactly surprising news. It barely even counts as news at all.
I agree with you, but I believe VG charts counts them as "new IPs" because they were new in most of the world (except for Japan and Russia respectively).Eldritch Warlord said:
- No PC release. So that a market potential of around 7 million lost. (give or take a few the peak of steam gamers online each day) Theoretically it should be everyone who has steam, but i reckon the difference between the peak of players online and the total of people who got steam is the people who (mostly) use, or have, a console.
- People still don't know what it actually is, in fact until now i haven't heard a peep from it since E3.
It's not gonna come close to the best selling new IP ever. My prediction is about x1.5 the last Halo. Since it's from Bungie, but also includes the Playstation 3/4.

This just in: Blowhard Activision CEO Bobby Kotick says the game made by the original Halo developers that his company is publishing will be the next best thing since slicing bread with rocket powered lightsabers. Keep trying to sell your product, dude, but until I learn exactly how this game is played and why I should drop money on an otherwise useless console instead of upgrading my video card for the next wave of new PC games, this game is just gonna be one of the many that I might read about if it pops up in an article I already planned on reading.
Call of Duty might be starting to descend from its peak, but there is no telling right of what franchise or genre, if any, will fill the lead spot when Destiny comes out. Nintendo could drop the Wii U price to dirt cheap, pack in a hit game, and announce 3rd party exclusives by then. Don't try and get me to preorder anything. I still gonna sit and wait it out like a smart little consumer(the kind I know you hate).

I know I already bought my 10 copies!
But seriously, I think the industry is looking for new IP. A cross platform system will help. And it's all Hype. And I am curious what he is referring to, maybe he means the new generations. Anywho, I bet it will sell over 5M, and I will be one of them. So they got me with. Hey it's good, lookie here.

Destiny has had a number of gameplay footage videos released, not just the stuff from the 2013 E3 announcement. It looks like a well playing, intricate and fun game. Bungie even made a few statements that Multiplayer (as in competitive multiplayer) was NOT as huge of focus, but that co-op, exploring Destiny's world, and ease of partying up with friends or others in game world was. Obviously, Bungie stated the game will have competitive multiplayer.
In any event, I have no doubt Destiny will do well. Probably very, very well. When was the last time Bungie made an outright bad game? I can't recall them ever doing so. So, Activision's faith and expectations in Destiny are most likely not misplaced.

I'll pass. I was quite interested in Destiny until Bungie said in a pre-release statement about six months ago that it would be set as a persistent online world. Lost all interest as soon as I read that.Flutterguy said:
OT: So Kotick is already referring to Destiny as a franchise before the game is even out? Wow. The IP hasn't even sold one copy and this guy is already dreaming about how best to milk it.
Honestly I actually believe him. It would come to no surprise if that happened. Destiny is the same thing but with robots and a metric ton of advertising. You better believe it'll sell like hot cakes.
well i guess pride does come before fall
now we just have to wait and see how they fall
whether it becomes the new call of halo: warfighter....

This is going to end with him being very disappointed. The game would have to crack 40 million just to have a chance at that and no title they've published has ever cracked 30 million. Then again, Kotick's entire job is to engage in hyperbole. Still, a of restraint would be nice
Could you send me a link to these videos, because all i can find is the E3 footage with different commentators (all of which annoy me greatly)electric method said:
