Link and Zelda have real thicc legs in those yoga pants of their, despite releasing a bajillion times

I think a big part of why Breath of the Wild's sales are so huge is that it's quite different from those "bajillion" previous entries in the series.

Is Zelda (Switch) severely undertracked or am I missing something? Nintendo said 2.74m sold on march alone, but VGC has it at 2m, and if I remember correctly digital was a very small part of those sales, at least in US.



Bet with Teeqoz for 2 weeks of avatar and sig control that Super Mario Odyssey would ship more than 7m on its first 2 months. The game shipped 9.07m, so I won

I think Areym was referring to KH Collection with that comment (would make more sense), though one can't be too sure with his use of punctuation.

I haven't actually heard anything concrete about its digital sales, just forum speculation. That said, I doubt they're high enough to make up the difference, so even including that and copies on shelves/in transit, yes, it appears to be undertracked.



That KH collection actually did well for what it is.

Didn't NPD report 925k sales for Zelda on Switch? Pretty sure that doesn't include digital. We have it at 887k.



Damn... I didnt know MLB would sell so well. Great news for Nintendo and Sony platform software sales.

The 925k units are from Nintendo's press release which includes digital. Based on other credible information the digital portion accounted for ~3% and I am pretty sure that VGC pieced their March numbers together in a way that reflects the NPD total for retail sales.

Ah, thanks. I thought Nintendo was using NPD's numbers for that since they compared it to other NPD figures.



Wow! MLB is really high! I am surprised at that number.



People keeps buying these kingdom hearts remasters, the fanbase sure is loyal
