Destiny, the biggest PS4 software launch to date, as well as being the top selling new video game franchise launch, might have racked up some pretty interesting figures in the financials department, has been on the receiving end of a rather disappointing critical reception, although it does hold its own in terms of popularity. Apparently, Bungie claims that players are clocking up average play sessions of three hours each day, and when it comes to the weekends, the average figure would go up by another hour.
Of course, there is really no precedent to line up this data against with, as they happen to be first week of play data. Regardless, in the first week alone, we were subjected to a billion deaths plus in Destiny’s player-versus-player Crucible mode, and there were over 100 million gaming hours logged up. This was the figure that Destiny publisher Activision cited when it boasted of the $325 million outlay that gamers spent when it came to picking up the game in the first week alone.
If you are a huge fan of Destiny and have played with it every single day ever since you picked up the game, does your gaming pattern fall in line with the average number of hours cited by Bungie? [Press Release]
