Three of the top games are sports games and even NHL 16 makes the top 10. NBA 2K16 takes first place and was released on the 29th of September. So less than a week of sales.

Yeah, I was surprised FIFA was only 4th but then I remembered it released on the 22nd.

Missed this one, because everyone at GAF was making fun of NBA Live.

pes ~ 15K
fifa < 650k

So Destiny Taken King is somewhere between 450 and 650K, physical copies and bundles (they do count those). Of course the digital numbers for the game are pretty out there from what I have seen. So a shit load would be an accurate description for total copies sold.
