Was anyone expecting this to be a top seller? It's literally there for people who are just now picking up Destiny. Nobody who currently plays the game would spend $60 on the game, when they probably already have all previous expansions and Rise of Iron only cost $30 standalone. The expansion still shattered digital preorder records, and a shit ton of people still play it, despite it being over 2 years old. I still play it a lot.
Pretty much this. Most of everyone who wants to play it already owns it, and only needs the digital expansion to Rise of Iron.
I wasn't expecting big sales, but that's pretty awful. It shows us Destiny isn't doing a good job picking up new fans.
That's extremely low considering the install base on both platforms that don't have it yet. And all the new Xbox One S and PS4 Slim consoles attracting new buyers.
