Has Zelda always been full price? For example, it isn't full price on Amazon right now. In fact, I could have sworn such a notion has been debunked before. I get that people want to gloat, but perspective, as usual, is needed.

It has had a few temporary discounts but the MSRP is still $60.

On the EU eShop it’s €70 even. Retail it’s a bit cheaper though, but always around €60.

And that is on Switch alone, don’t forget the estimated 1.5m (last concrete numbers were 1.2 though as far as I know) it also sold on WiiU!

Zelda has done amazingly well, but Horizon was also a huge success for Sony. I did outsell most older Zelda games after all, and to sell so much as a new IP is something to be happy about. I have the game but haven’t played it yet. About the OP, Horizon winning the metacritic was never going to happen, there was just no chance and you’d have to be pretty biassed to believe that. The lowest metascore a console-Zelda ever got was a 93 and BotW was bound to score much higher. Sales was debatable and it could’ve gone either way, but luckily both sold far more than I thought they would. Graphics was Horizon’s clear win though, the PS4 is just capable of so much more than WiiU. I can’t wait to see what a Zelda made for Switch from the ground is going to look like, obviously Switch isn’t a PS4 either but it’ll sure look noticeably prettier!
