Horizon beating Zelda again this week. Excellent hold!

I was holding myself to do not say anything.
Zelda and the Switch was very limited and you know it. (I can't ship 300k of Zelda if has just 100k of the console for play it). The drop was expected. Stop with your comportament, you're just embarrassing yourself. 

The drop is pretty standard for Zelda and Horizon Zero Dawn also has stock problems.  Digital sales for Horizon will be higher too. The game is just selling better simple as.

So let me get this straight

We can have a hundred threads about Zelda beating Horizon around the world, but he can't post a single comment about Horizon beating Zelda in UK?

Give me a break

Surprised "Lego World's" is above Zelda.
Horizon might have legs?

Also Why are Sony and Nintendo underestimateing their software so much?

They should have made & shipped more copies of those games! Or the shops? should have bought more stock.

Want to play a cool new game? too bad its sold out >.<

Perhaps the lack of stock is intentional. Force people to buy digital instead, which not only is priced higher but they also don't have to share the revenue with retailers that way. It's all a conspiracy!

Your probably right I was actually thinking about this the past week myself but I think it's more so them knowing that the digital copy is avaliabe and if people want it now they can just get it and they take a bigger cut anyway instead of fast tracking physical stock so they don't loose out on sales.

Singleplayer games really can't afford to be out of stock for a week or two imo as the market can get completely flooded with used copies as early buyers trade it back in after they finished it a few days or a week after launch whilst the value is still high.



Zelda Wii U version also holding up so that's good to see

Average 2nd week drop is around 80%, so those are really good holds for Horizon and BOTW.

actually average week drop is in the 70's for an AAA game. 80% is considered on the high end of a drop

Zelda isn't completely out of stock but you can't find it anywhere. 70% drop with the Switch pretty much not available is decent.

Horizon also had a crazy sale last week so explains why the supply issues are here. It completely blew expectations over here.

w'r talking  about UK ? have a look http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=226777

Yes talking UK. I've already read about the stock issues and keep visiting shops and checking availability online. It's quite virtually impossible to get one, and when they do get stock it gets sold out in a couple of hours
