Destiny PS4 Hardware Bundle

Sony may have invested heavily in Destiny, but it sounds like the partnership has paid off, as according to third-party chief Adam Boyes, sales of the PlayStation 4 soared over the past seven days. In fact, not only has Bungie’s next big thing become the fastest selling title on the Japanese giant’s record breaking format – but it was also responsible for propelling hardware sales beyond any week since Christmas 2013. As the amiable executive puts it, that’s a lot of systems.

The suit also had some interesting statistics to share, such as the fact that fledgling Guardians have engaged in a whopping 11 million gameplay sessions collectively since last Tuesday. Moreover, the first-person shooter is now the most shared and broadcasted game during its first week on sale in PS4 history. “From everyone at PlayStation, we want to say thank you to the fans – none of this would be possible without you,” added the customary conclusion.

One other interesting tidbit: it sounds like both of the title’s upcoming expansion packs will include additional exclusive content on Sony’s machine, which means that the partnership’s far from over yet. Considering the less than ideal review scores, though, is this a game that you reckon the platform holder should continue investing in? It’s certainly sold well – but do let us know your thoughts in the comments section below.
