Activision is betting huge that Destiny will be a success as they are pouring $500 million into the game.
As reported on Reuters, Activision intends to spend “$500 million developing and promoting “Destiny“. This will be the most money ever spent making and marketing a video game ever.
$500 million is a lot of money and if Activision intends to break even with Destiny, they need to sell about 15 to 16 million copies of the game at the price of $60 according to analysts.
This is a huge gamble considering the game is a new IP. Actvision hopes the fans of both Halo and Call of Duty will intend the buy Destiny. After all, the game is developed by Bungie.
Do you think Activision is gambling too much money on the game, or is it a good investment?
