Did I hurt your feelings or something?

Let me hit you with some Inductive reasoning. Zelda sales is depended upon how many Nintendo Switch consoles is up on the market, and since there is 2.4mil Switch consoles (currently sold out), that means it's fair to say a maximum of 2.4mil Zelda can be bought on that platform at this given moment. Meanwhile there is 13.9 million Wii U, and Zelda only manages 0.64 mil on that. So if you think it'll break the gap then I'd say that's wishful thinking. It all depends on how fast Nintendo can push out Nintendo Switches. Good luck I guess.

 

So it took Breath of the Wild about 15 days (march 3rd - march 18th) to overtake HZD in retail sales. 2,384,000 vs 2,355,000
Can we agree that the gap was very short lived? Or will you hit me again with some inductive reasoning?  
Seems to me that from now on the gap between Zelda and Horizon will only get bigger.
So do you think that HZD can close the gap or is that wishful thinking? 

That's foolish of you to say. Word of mouth is so strong with HZD. It will keep selling. I imagine it will outleg Zelda because most people that want the game are already lined up for it. Just look at a movie like Avatar. No one knew what the heck it was but word of mouth kept its weekly $$$$ from falling. I think Zelda will quickly die out as I think it is very frontloaded while HZD has far more room to grow as it's such a new IP.
