Yeah, Horizon climbing towards that fabled 10 million any day now...

Am I evil for being happy seeing the unimpressive Mass Effect numbers? I hope EA rage quits on Bioware and realizes they've ruined one of the best developers of all time. But that's never gonna happen, of course.

No, I'm happy about them too.

Zelda is  15 million

Wow, Horizon seems to be slipping up against BOTW. Maybe more people are buying digital perhaps. And I didn't know RBI baseball was still around and kicking! Shows how out of the loop I was for a while.

USA is a weak region for Horizon for some reason, meanwhile it's BOTW's strongest region. VGC has 27.7% of Horizon's sales in the USA, meanwhile 45.6% of Zelda's in the USA.

I'm surprised how well MLB: 17 has done. For comparison MLB: 16 only sold 206k in it's first week, so 17 has over doubled it's predecessor.

   But horizon isn't being outsold on us only, it's being outsold on EU and japan aswell, on EU the week of 25th march was 67k botw vs 57k horizon.

Most have probably just moved on to other stuff. As great as its launch was, Horizon is ultimately "just" another PS4 release. Zelda doesn't really have that problem, which is what made arguments saying it'd have bad legs so confusing (it was a minority opinion, but it still existed for some reason).

I was a bit surpised to see it at Best Buy myself. Those numbers though....Around? Yes. Kicking? Well, if sales were kicks:

RBI

True, Zelda naturally has legs as it has worked for those legs and has a resume behind them. Horizon did come out swinging, but the dropoff was very sharp. It'll be interesting to see how it picks up during the holidays though.

Yeah, those sales are piss poor, lol. I wonder if it's going to be profitable enough to make another one maybe it can even beat the Show!!!



If it sold "over 2.6m in less than two weeks" world wide...
does it make sense that its first month's sales in the USA is only 644k, like vgc has it?

Is it just alot of it is digital sales?



Ps4 software killing it again this week with 2 new releases. MLB in beast mode showing great growth.
