Why are so many people on this forum in denial over the success of Destiny?

I see threads on here day in day out about how Destiny is a complete flop and that Bungie are gonna have to dump this series and move on to something else because it is so unpopular. Yet when you look objectively at the criteria for a successful game, Destiny is one of the most successful new ips in recent memory, in February it already had [url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-31161845]16 million registered users[/url]. In comparison, Watch Dogs (another successful new ip), which had similar hype to Destiny, had only sold [url=http://www.ubisoftgroup.com/comsite_common/en-US/images/pressrelease_downloadablemm_20150212_050959_ubisoftq3fy15englishfinaltcm99193930.pdf]10 million[/url] by the end of 2014. In case you need any more proof of Destiny's success, log on to your XB1 (if you're one of the few who has one) and look at the 'top games right now'. It is guaranteed that Destiny will be in the top 5, it's usually top 3 and ahead of Advanced Warfare. MS's flagship franchise Halo rarely even appears in the top 10. To summarise, the rabid Destiny haters on this forum need to give themselves a reality check and stop making themselves look stupid. Your personal opinion on the quality of the game has no bearing on its overall success.

    I think they lost 175 million on launch. From memory they made 500 million dollars worth of game discs. When the bad reviews came out they sold 325 million dollars worth of that 500 million stock. Somewhere out there is a 175 millions dollars worth of destiny games unsold.
