Delayed reviews and the impact on sales (Destiny)

I know what you meant. I'm saying negative reviews probably would not have had much of an impact on sales at all. The marketing and hype for this game was so strong that most average consumers would have bought it anyway. Add the die-hard fans who bought it just because it's a Bungie game (myself included) and the Halo fans who bought it just because it was made by the same people that made Halo...

And you're forgetting how closely these review sites are wrapped around the publishers' fingers.
