Current numbers (Destiny)

Well, what 4 million people played the beta. So if only each person playing the beta played the retail, that would mean about 10% of people have completed the raid. Since I am sure more people bought the game than 4 million, that % is even lower.

"Even lower"? Less than 10% isn't surprising, I would have been ASTOUNDED if 10% of players had completed the raid by now.

The current numbers for PS4 are : 5.4% have finished the raid on normal, and 0.4% have finished it on hard.

Yea, I'm curious as to where that sits compared to other games with hard content? Looks like Dark souls netted about a 25% completion rate, but say, something like "Iron Man Classic" in Xcom has a 2% completion rate (Which is a shame, because that was one of the best gaming experiences of my life). Compared to those, a Raid has maybe less time commitment, but many more hurdles to cross to get into it.

So yea, I guess it's a big fat, I don't know. I will say, that I expected the completion rate to hang closer to 2% given the 6 player/ no matchmaking-ness of it.

Now I want to do a full study of this.
