| DanneSandin said: I'm not super sure that Horizon will take a major hit in sales; it all depends on how many Zelda fans is thinking about buying Horizon and how many hardcore gamers is thinking about getting a Switch. If hardcore gamers is super interested in the Switch, I can see Horizon taking a hit - but other than that, the release of the Switch and Zelda shouldn't effect Horizon all that much. But it's a good point. The question is if it's motsly Nintendo fans that gets their hands on the Switch first, or other gamers. It's the only major game, besides Zelda, which I can think of right off the bat, that releases any time soon, so you have 50m people wanting to play something new by the time Horizon comes around, and not everyone of those 50m peoples will be getting a Switch day one. But yeah, I wouldn't be super surprised if Zelda sold more, not at all. |
50m install base doesn't mean that 50m people are eagerly waiting to buy a new game lol. Horizon looks great but it's a new IP, from a developer that has a history of not making great games. What will determine the sales is likely the reviews, and if it has meh review, then chances are people will forget about it a week later when the game that everyone has been talking about since E3 of last year comes out. The way I see it, 3 million is the ceiling for Horizon while 3 million is the floor for Zelda BOTW.
