Here's How Much Money 'Destiny' Actually Made In Its First Week
Activision announced the game has sold more than $325 million worldwide in its first five days.
The company says this is according to "Chart-Track, first parties, retail customer sell-through information" and estimates from Activision Blizzard.
Last week, after the title's release, the company reported a sell-in figure north of $500 million.
Last year, Rockstar's "Grand Theft Auto V" made a huge $1 billion in three days. Granted, that game was a sequel in a successful franchise. Bungie's "Halo 2" made a reported $125 million in first day sales.
"Destiny" has been reported to be one of the most expensive video games ever made. Early estimates suggested it cost up to $500 million to make and market the game.
While not perfect, the futuristic shooter mixed with a massive multiplayer online universe is thoroughly fun, encouraging gamers to upgrade their characters for further gameplay after finishing the game's story mode.
