Ten million on Day 1? No. I don't think any game in history has managed that and even though Destiny seems to be setting records that's still a feat that just seems ridiculous. Established franchises that the consumers scramble to buy have not even accomplished this. A new IP, no matter how well it's doing, is at the disadvantage that it hasn't proven itself yet. That's why Grand Theft Auto always sells so high. It's a long running franchise with a history of excellence. If Destiny blows up and becomes something huge then I have no doubt that it will hit 10 million lifetime and well beyond and that its sequel could do that on the first day. I just don't see the first game in a new franchise hitting such a high number in its first 24 hours.

GTAV sold 16.5m week one lulz. Day 1 was likely around 12m or so.
