Methodology? (Destiny)
Was looking at numbers for wrong year...Didn't we have this talk a while back about not counting digital sales? It seems hard to believe that D1 on the PS3 and 360 out preordered D2 in its entirety...
Why? The installed base of the previous generation at end-of-life would be expected to be several times larger than that of the next generation at its beginning.
True, but "install base" can be a misleading number. By the time D1 came along, I had purchased at least 4 Xbox 360s, all of which count towards that platform's install base. And yet I hadn't bought a 360 game in over a year, because I ALSO had an Xbox One and a PS4.
For this and other reasons, "install base" needs to be judged on a sliding scale. Video game consoles towards the end of their lifespan (ie already eclipsed by newer hardware) do not typically see a great ratio of sales per new release.
