Forums - Gaming Discussion - Prediction: Horizon Zero Dawn > Zelda BoTW

AngryLittleAlchemist on 14 July 2017

Horizon Zero Dawn is probably a little under BOTW including digital. BOTW's digital sales have been bad, but mostly because people buy the game with their Switchs

Bump for tomorrow Nintendo Six Months Earnings Release

Last number from Nintendo BOTW switch = 3.92 million units and WiiU = over 1 million units

Horizon was a triumph for Guerrilla. Before that they had only made Killzone, and were a B tier developer in my mind. Killzone was just part of Sony's attempt at being more like Xbox by catering to the early 20's FPS fans. Forcing Insomniac to make Resistance was the same kind of move.

So HZD sales are likely ahead of BOTW Switch, including WiiU BOTW is almost certainly the winner.

HZD - (3.4m as of April 30th) - "A good example of that is the break down of sales for PS4’s Horizon Zero Dawn. As of April 30, more than 3.4 million copies of the game have been sold. Of those 915,000 were digital sales, according to PlayStation."

Zelda Switch - (4.7m as of September 30th)

Not true. 4.7m is Switch only, but HZD hasn't tracked above BotW in almost any charts outside of UK for some weeks here and there.

Yes 4.7m is switch only, did you read my post? xD

We know that HZD sold 3.4m in it's first month, suggesting it didn't sell at least 1.3m in the next 4 months seems silly. These are both official figures, not the charts.

But if you do want to use the charts for Horizon, we know digital sales for HZD were already 915k by April 30th, with VGC having the game at 3.56m retail by september 9th, that also shows HZD selling more than Zelda on Switch.

(4.47m add in the 3 retail missing weeks, and 4 months of digital sales, easily over 4.7m)

HZD should still be above BotW Switch, but it's probably quite close, so it shouldn't be too hard for BotW to beat it lifetime.

Well.... Zelda certainly sold more than Horizon.... 4,7 million on Switch and 1,9 million on WiiU = 6,9 million total. We´re still missing numbers of the digital sales for the WiiU version , but I don´t think they´re a lot.

Anyway, both games did very, very well. I´m glad to have them in my collection, I´ve been enjoying every minute of both games.
