I once read somewhere that more than half of the revenues from the 'Star Wars' franchise came from toys and games - not the films.

Custom Guardian action figures. Destiny themed Sony Xperia Z3. Competitive league streaming rights? Who knows.

Saying 'They'll never sell 16 million!' is looking at the situation very naively. If individual people are willing to spend a lot on your franchise you don't need to convince a lot of people.

Bungie are also going to be selling to a potential market more than 3 times the size of any they've sold to in more than a decade.
