In a post to Bungie's official website, Community Manager David "DeeJ" Dague revealed that Destiny averages 3.2 million players every day. As Bungie revealed last month, these players' play sessions are still three hours long on average, even on weekdays. The average Destiny player also logs into the the game 1.8 times a day, and has played Destiny 20.9 times in total.

Usually people follow up the reposting of information with a point. Maybe you didn't have one specifically and just wanted to start a discussion based on someone else's work?
Okay here goes. THATS GREAT NEWS dude thanks for finding that for us!!
Not sure why the attitude,
I wasn't aware of this news so I appreciate the reposting.
I am not for sure if that is a good number or not. Cause the game did release on 4 different consoles.
Lol umad pc elitist?
Played-Everything
Playing-LoL
Why? This serves no purpose other than to continue off topic. At this site, we already have a bad enough reputation, lets not make it worse. I am not condoning or supporting the original quoted post either. Someone already pointed out the issue, why continue it?
What does that have to do with Destiny which is a totally different genre. Why not compare it to games with persistent online multiplayer worlds instead?
The title is misleading, Destiny had a monthly average of 3.2 million daily players, which is very different from having 3.2 million daily players a month after launch.
Will be interesting to see the games longterm retention
LoL is also more popular than Archeage and every game on this websites list and cheaper too. On top of that it doesnt cost 60 dollars to buy.
They had 3.2 million players turn the game on a day. That is an impressive number. It doesn't matter if it's an absolute number or an average. It compares very well with Halo, one of the most popular franchises on consoles. One of the most popular franchises ever, actually. Initial sales must have been pretty ridiculous.
I can not remember winning or losing a single debate on the internet.
Ugh, really? Oh, what's that? Ahhhhh, ok, that's the sound of your credibility flushing down the toilet.
You know what else was really inexpensive to develop? Flappy Bird. OH, and it only took like 24 hours to develop. OH! And it was making like $10,000 daily. So, really, Flappy Bird beats LoL, if we're talking about relativity. Shoot, if we're talking in relative terms, Candy Crush DESTORYS LoL. Therefore it's the best game in the universe. /roll eyes
What you're talking about means absolutely nothing. It's completely inconsequential. Please, continue the hate train for a game that you basically finished more quickly than anyone else on here, and probably still play. It's like saying "Crack is Whack!" and then you're out on the corner the next minute picking some up.

People who have smoked cracked probably have a much more in depth experience on the matter and probably would say that Crack is Whack.

It adds perspective of just how popular LoL is - and don't forget the Dev cost either - $15 million total.
LoL - released 5 years ago in a genre with very little competition
Destiny - released 5 weeks ago in a genre with a ton of competition.
There's your perspective.
I told people not to buy it its not good after what I saw in the beta and those who did already moved on.
yes and there are + - 8 million WOW players the whole time and I will buy dreanor but only play for a month or two its good but not great.
Just to expand on this, 3 years after release LoL had 4.2 million people logging in daily. 4 years after release, they had 12 million daily players. 5 years after release they have 27 million daily players.
Therefore, in 5 years, Destiny will have a total of 59 million players playing on a daily basis using the LoL population growth trends (based on what's available), while also adopting LoL's currently declining growth trend. Still, I guess it's ok, I'm just glad to get some perspective.

Such is the power of consoles. Not to mention the huge following of Bungie.
But that doesn't mean every MMO can reach those numbers on consoles. I am looking at you FFXIV.
So yeah it is very impressive.
