Bungie’s Destiny continues to do well in the UK Games Chart this week, keeping the top spot for the second week running. The game, available on a number of platforms including PS4 and Xbox One, has been hugely popular since its release two weeks ago. UKIE also revealed that 72% of PS4 sales for the week were the Destiny bundle.
The latest figures from Sony reveal that the PS4 has sold over 10 million units worldwide since launch last November, but it has now come to light that the UK alone had sold over 1 million units. This means the UK counts for 10% of the PS4 market, making it the second quickest console to reach the one million mark.
Destiny is just days away from release, and a new video of the game has been released showing the Remote Play capabilities of the game. The video from PlayStation.Blog shows just how impressive, and responsive the remote play experience is. The team over at Bungie actually optimized the controls for Destiny on PS Vita via Remote Play, and the controls are displayed below.
