Well 99% of Switch buyers didnt byt Zelda theres I am Setsuna, Just Dance, Fast Racing RMX,Bomberman R, Shovel Knight, Snipperclips etc so its not like thye had to buy Zelda.

Well yeah people know about Zelda duh that and its almost perfect score is why it sold so well but thats like saying nobody knows about Horizon when its was higly marketed, and it got a pretty good score also plus a way larger install base.

It wouldnt be a big deal if the Switch had been out for a while but considering that Horizon came out on an install base of about a million compared to zelda on 45k then yea its a big deal. Why didnt the Wii U version outsell Horizon since Zelda name is so big?

I found that it sold 360k around OCT 2014 so i said its probably around 600k then i looked for more sales data and it sold 700k in Jan 2016 so its safe to say the PS4 is around 1ml in Spain.

No i didnt.

Lol jesus a 1mish install base vs a 45k install base

Lol wow, you really never disappoint with your ridiculous posts. You're actually going to sit there and say that people actually bought a Switch for games other than Zelda? For one that makes no sense. The title literally says "Attach Ratio close to 100%". So what you're saying is already wrong.

And someone else pointed this out, Uncharted 4 sold more than Uncharted 3 with the PS3 having more units sold. Why? By your logic that's suppose to be super impressive, WOW(ing). No it really isn't, it's actually not surprising at all the Uncharted 4 sold more than UC3. 

You think if the PS4 launched with no games, no AAA multiplats like the Switch, and only Uncharted 4, that it wouldn't have a huge attach ratio? Lol please, of course it would. People buy a game with their new console, and it's pretty obvious the only choice for Switch owners is Zelda. You know, I've actually made this point before yet you haven't said anything about it, I wonder why.

You just proved yourself wrong in that sentence. Not everyone that bought a Switch got Zelda. Close to 100% isnt 100%. 

UC3 sold 1.3m fw while UC4 sold like 2.2m with a smaller installbase. Thats really impressive.

Now thats trolling saying the switched launched with no games.

I agree with that but still Zelda outselling Horizon is still impressive considering the install base difference.

Lol i already mentioned that the only choice isnt Zelda there are other great games that launched with the Switch.

Alright, Ali and jason, you two need to calm down. If you guys can't keep it civil, then I suggest you drop the conversation altogether because you're just engaging in a shouting match at this point.



Attach rate of 100% reflects on the really poor slate of games NS has beside Zelda in it's launch. It's going to need more than one great game to keep on selling that's for sure.

So, you say that people like me didn't bought a second or third game besides Zelda?

Why are people playing surprise ?

One of the 2 cultest Nintendo game as thé only Big game on a new console launch against Horizon, à new IP among à lot of other games coming out since january and even others in march?

Seriously ? ( And Please stop that ridiculous argument about installbase, Uncharted 4 sold à lot better than Uncharted 3 despite thé huge différence of install base, only Because the name of thé studio became even more famous , so yeah this argument never meant anything , especially on such pointless comparison )

Thats obvious that Zelda would and should do better worldwide, thé opposite would bé quite worrying for Zelda name .

Is that so? I am pretty sure you were going on and on about how weak the Switch lineup is because Breath of the Wild is also on Wii U. You also predicted 20m lifetime for Switch as a best case scenario.

And now you are saying that it's obvious that the Switch version of Zelda alone would beat Horizon Zero Dawn on an installed base of 45k vs. over 1m.

It's way too early to tell anything from the sales other than they had a good launch supply, but if anything Zelda having 100% attach rate with the console affirms how narrow in appeal the launch slate is, and it's going to need more than Zelda to sustain sales.

No, I'm saying people bought it FOR Zelda.  There are very few people that bought it without Zelda.

Uc4 sold 2.7m not 2.2m, get your facts right and stop spreading bs.

Lol someones triggered. My bad it sold 2.7m but that wasnt the point. The point was that UC4 sold way more than any other UC game to come befor eon a lower install base so thats impressive.

Huh? The only thing Zelda's attach rate affirms is how desirable the game is. What would prove that the rest of the launch slate is poor are the sales of those other games, not Zelda's sales.

Also, if Zelda can achieve such an attach rate, it means that it can move hardware well beyond launch week. There's no reasonable way to conclude that everyone who wanted Zelda already got it.

As for more big games, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is coming in late April.

The attach rate affirms how singular Zelda is as the system seller at launch.  Sales of the others do seem poor, with 1-2 switch a distand 2nd and other games distand distant 3rd.

Certainly Zelda will keep on moving hardware, and like all software it will tail off.  Once Zelda sells through a couple of million and drops to say 50k/week we need other games to carry the Switch's sales.  Yes, MK8D will be the next to look forward to.
