I am more surprised at how low the Wii-U version of Zelda is. A lot of Wii-U owners must have jumped ship to the Switch right away.

It's true, but we're still talking about a Guerrilla Games game beating a Zelda in Japan. Even with a bigger userbase, it's still surprising and surely not something anyone would have bet some time ago...

 Saying it's surprising is very different than claiming zelda was a failure, especially when there are no numbers, and according to japanese retailers zelda botw is sold out in most places.

Yeah, the comment you answered to was indeed really excessive...

Not expected, great job sony!

I've been defending Disgaea 5 on NeoGAF to my last breath, insisting that it'll sell fine and everything will be fine, but that looks like an unmitigated disaster. Oh dear.

Can we all just take a moment to acknowledge that "Winning Post 8 2017" is 16th?

Very surprising that Horizon took #1. Partly because of Zelda + Switch, but also partly because western games sometimes have a hard time in Japan, especially ne IPs.

Not really. Even though Zelda is the more popular game (classic franchise vs new IP), way more people have a PS4 than a Switch at this point. So more people can buy Horizon than Zelda. Zelda will have way better legs, though.

hm.. I think Nintendo could sell 250-300k Switches and 150-200k copies of Zelda (Switch version) week 1, while my week 1 estimate for Horizon would be 75-110k

that ofcourse doesn't mean that Zelda has to sell more at every retailer, so the Tsutaya and Comg (where Horizon won aswell) charts might simply be examples of retailers with fairly low Switch shippings

Also, Tsutaya rankings always have Sony games in higher positions, but when it comes to Media Create and Famitsu Nintendo games show better sales. I think Tsutaya has more of a PlayStation fanbase.

I hope both do well, but a new IP will always struggle to keep up with one of the most stories series in gaming.

That Zelda is overcome by a new IP in Japan is a failure for Nintendo, I can not believe that Nintendo did not anticipate that Zelda would sell very well...

You mean how Splatoon beat any home console game in Japan this gen? I guess thats also a failure to everybody there. 



Pocky Lover Boy!

Holy shit Horizon is #1 this week. Congrats Sony!

With combined versions I´m sure Zelda won :D

Horizon is the top selling game on any one platform this week on tsutsaya.  I don't care for adding other platform versions together especially when Horizon is on one platform.  It won fair and square and I'm happy it did!
