Consumer market research firm the NPD Group this week released news that'll make Bungie's year - its online shooter Destiny is at the top of the U.S. game sales list for the month of September. Beating out titles like Madden, FIFA and even Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor, Destiny can now lay claim to being the biggest new franchise launch in video game history.
"We're, of course, ecstatic that Destiny has set sales records. But what we're most excited about is that this is a game that millions of fans can't seem to stop playing. A month after launch, people are still playing Destiny an average of three hours per day, which is phenomenal engagement." said Eric Hirshberg, CEO of Activision Publishing. "Bungie is making weekly updates to the game based on player feedback so there's even more great gameplay to come."
