Seems pretty try-hard to criticize Polygon, Kotaku, Gamespot, The Escapist... Not saying it's ++ is a bad site, but I've never heard of it until now, and I'm /pretty/ sure that respected sites are respected for a reason.
IMO, Destiny, at release, is a solid 7.75. Will future content additions make it better? Hell yes! It'll be loads of fun. (Hell, it's already fun when playing with friends.)
But boil it down? Destiny (again, at release) is...
Hope this is true. Game would be a major improvement to the studio's current CV.
Reminds me a lot of Dong Nguyen (Flappy Bird dev.). Some people don't want the spotlight, and that's more than respectable.
Lord knows I'd be thrilled to be that successful, but I wouldn't want 50 million people examining everything I do. Just give me a small job at 343/Bethesda and save the PR for O'Connor/Howard. :D
Not sure how you could be confused...
"There’s no reason for the development, sales, and support of the PC/Mac, Xbox 360, Xbox One, PS3, PS4, Vita, iOS, and Android versions of Minecraft to stop."
Uh... no...
Considering last year's TLOU and this year's TLOU and next year's UC4, I'm finding it hard [read: damn near impossible] to imagine ND having that kind of time on their hands.
Not to mention the fact that Sony would've mentioned this a long time ago in order to drown-out the hype/media attention that TMCC has been receiving.
Your profile picture tho! XD God it has been too long since that show...
OT: I've got to agree with you on the 'reaching' aspect of the article. There's hardly any reason to believe this is a AAA or even AA title that we haven't already heard about. That being said, if we are going to get another title, expect it to be announced next week at TGS.

+ Bubble for Well Said. Thanks for being mature and keeping a level head. It's a rarity on this site, and we need more people like you.
I guess NOW we can all rally behind the idea that Resolution ≠ Graphics?

@Concertoine
Do you know how Sony got "a wide array of recognizable studios pumping out first party software like Sony did with the PS3"?
In the exact same manner: Buying them.
You and me both.
It's an opinion piece bro. It can't be a duplicate.
Your news story however? Yeah, that CAN be a duplicate. Whether or not it was I can't comment on, but it seems like you're deliberately ignoring (or simply forgetting) the principle of a "duplicate" story. 5000 people can have a similar opinion, but 5000 people can't report the exact same piece of news.
Also, judging by your comment here: 4295d ago 4 agree3 disagreeView comment
You know a marketing campaign has succeeded/gone viral when there are 3+ articles discussing it on the front page N4G. (And that's not even including the other half-dozen more floating around the site!)

"If this site didn't allow me to stay ahead of the curb with gaming news, I would've been done a long long time ago."
That's literally the only reason I'm here. Gotta sift through the shit to try and find the one worth-while nugget of news. That nugget rarely comes. - _ -
OT: The amount of salt that was put into the title is astounding.
The only thing desperate about this is the spin this article is trying to put on a clearly-successful PR stunt.
To everyone wondering:
"Lastly, it’s absolutely working – everyone is talking about the funny ‘advertisement’ from Microsoft, showing off a Destiny fragrance. ‘Destiny‘ is trending on Twitter (where it wasn’t earlier today), and not many people are discussing the game. Today, it’s all about Microsoft, Xbox, and their latest fragrance."
^ That's how it's working.
You writing an autobiography?
For starters, a few years? Calm your tits.
Second of all, 10,000,000 over 8 years = 1,250,000 per year. Going by the 29 new markets figure, that's around 45,000 per territory. Given the massive jump that we always see around launch and/or the holiday season, Jag's prediction isn't too far-fetched.
(And that's using your numbers that I didn't bother fact-checking.)
Edit:
Worth noting - Those regions you wer...
... Dude, the defining "month" definitely won't be the one where hardly any (exclusive) software launches. Try Oct - Dec.
And even then, it's still out in around half as many markets as the PS4, so the "it's out in more territories" argument still stands. It's not /quite/ as solid, but it is still 100% fact.
So either HDMI shoes or Destiny fragrance... I'll take the fragrance please.
