Call of Duty, Assassin’s Creed, Halo – all will be outsold by Bungie’s Destiny this year, according to Cowen Research analyst Doug Creutz.
VentureBeat reports that the company’s data on game pre-orders points to sales of between 10-15m units this year – which by implication means that either a fantastic attach rate amongst PS4 and Xbox One owners is predicted and/or ongoing strong sales of both systems.
Creutz added that Destiny has the highest ‘Ordometer’ score it has awarded to any game for the past four years.
