Activision seems to be saying that as of right now Destiny may have enough pre-orders to set a new record for new IPs. So it's still possible that by the time the game releases Destiny could have broken whatever the previous pre-order record was for any game. New IP or sequel.
Ah I see. It'd be a big success if they got even 1/4 of the pre orders of GTAV tbh . I can see it breaking the new IP record though. What do you think currently holds that record?
