Awesome! It is always good to have great new IP's sell well. I can't wait to try this game out.

"This is only the beginning of Aloy's story and our exploration of the world of Horizon Zero Dawn, with the team already hard at work on an expansion to the story."

You know, 99% of the time I'd be annoyed...but I love this game so much I'm fine with it. I'm hoping it is a full expansion like Infamous: First Light, but anything more is welcomed.

At least it's not day one dlc.

Good point, and if it is significant expansion I'll happily buy it for $10-20 range as I want to support this title.



had a blast with this one...overriding likes of Thunderjaw and Behemoth, not to mention the Stormbird. There is room for clear expansion on the story line...I think Killzone gets to be sidelined from now on.

To be fair though quite a few people were low balling HZD sales wise. Heck even you said in that very same thread that it may do 1-3 million and said like 3-5 million for Zelda if I am not mistaken. Another guy said 2.5 million max. I know for sure that one guy JakDaSak said 3 million was the max(I remember him so clearly because he kept going back and forth about how HZD didn't have a chance or something) and those are just posters off the top of my head.

And come to the dark side and buy a PS4!!!! Lots of great titles! You won't regret it!

Yep, you're right. I didn't think a new IP would go so well right off the start. Very well. My zelda prediction might be also too low seeing the reception, but I clearly underestimated the new IP.

Yeah I definitely think your Zelda prediction was low! I thought 5 million was around what Zelda would have at the lowest but heck from the looks of things it might hit that easily. Especially if the Switch keeps selling like crazy. But from the looks of things it might hit 7-9 million!



The absence of evidence is NOT the evidence of absence...

really happy that horizon had a great start



Wow I think I had one of the higher predictions for first week, and it still exceeded them. I knew HZD was gonna be big after following the Amazon bestsellers chart leading up to launch. Fantastic sales. It's exciting that, despite Sonys already strong first party, we can now officially add GG to its list of top-tier developers. And after HZD's financial success, GG's games will only get better, bc Sony will certainly now further strengthen and improve GG by giving them better resources, hiring new talent, and giving them bigger budgets for their games.

Anyways, my copy of HZD just came in the mail today. Just gotta finish my work and get to the gym, then Horizon here I come!

Zero Dawn has no chance to beat it in lifetime sales nor attach rate. Hell, BOTW has already beaten Horizon's attach rate like a red headed step child.

Lol, yea, attach rate for a newly released console that was seen as a Zelda machine.  Let's wait to see where it ends before calling victory on that one.  And if Horizon ends up selling more lifetime, but Zelda ends up with a higher attach rate, that's not exactly a good thing.  That just means the Switch sold less than the PS4.

@ OP

Awesome sales.  And at least they are doing DLC right.  Focus on the game, and once it releases, then start working on DLC.

While it it's not unlikely that Zelda will end up selling more (possibly even just the Switch version), attach ratio is a meaningless point of comparison. Zelda is the only major AAA launch title for a brand new Nintendo system, while Horizon is one of a few hundred AAA titles on a system that's install-base is already above 50 million. Horizon would have needed to sell 30 - 40 million copies in its opening week to have a similar attach ratio to Zelda. That's obviously beyond absurd.
