Destiny sold-through more than $325 million worldwide in its first five days on sale, Activision Publishing has announced.
The figure is based on data provided by Chart-Track, first parties, retail customer sell-through information and Activision Blizzard internal estimates.
Last week Activision said it had shipped in over $500 million worth of stock to retailers on day one. This indicates that approximately 65 per cent of launch stock was sold.
“Destiny fans played more than 100 million hours of the game in the first week. That’s on par with the engagement levels of our most popular Call of Duty games, which obviously is an industry leader,” said Eric Hirshberg, CEO, Activision Publishing. “Millions of gamers are having a great time playing Destiny and can’t put down their controllers. And this is just the beginning. Destiny is a platform that will grow and evolve and we will continue to work closely with our partners at Bungie to bring a long line of new experiences and content to life in the game.”
