Holidays gave a great bump to BotW.
Proud to be the first cool Nintendo fan ever
Number ONE Zelda fan in the Universe
Prediction: No Zelda HD for Wii U, quietly moved to the succesor
Predictions for Nintendo NX and Mobile
Crazy how Zelda/Splatoon 2/Odyssey/MK8D keep selling well. Usually its 1-2 games that are strong like that early on a console's life but like 4 major game that's wild.
It seems "little" every week but they will all ne over 10 millions in no time if they keep selling like this.
Its like splatoon 2 is raising every week lol. Anways, Zelda is still doing insane numbers and the fact it is still winning Goty awards won't stop it :p
Updated with week 47!
Another huge gain for BotW Switch. We are close to the end now guys, only 6 weeks to go.
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

Um, yes. I explicitly told you that I am cherry-picking to support a conclusion. It looks like cherry-picking because that was my goal. As for Zelda, critical acclaim and gaming forum chatter don't mean anything in the big picture. The reason why Breath of the Wild is besting Twilight Princess is that BotW is trickling down to the common man, the people who don't care about reviews and gaming forum opinions. Even Skyward Sword had critical acclaim and gaming forum praise, but its sales lagged far behind TP. That's not because of who owned the console, but rather the failure of the game. SS is incredibly linear and puzzle-heavy whereas The Legend of Zelda actually built its strong reputation on freedom and combat. Similarly, Metroid: Other M was a commercial failure regardless of who owned the console because the game was an outright betrayal of what Metroid stands for. You can actually go back to the beginning of this very thread here and see me say why Breath of the Wild will pummel Twilight Princess in sales. Breath of the Wild is a much, much better Zelda than Twilight Princess. The Wii brought back gamers who owned Nintendo consoles before. They bought Twilight Princess because it was called The Legend of Zelda, but word of mouth wasn't particularly kind because it didn't really match what those people expected from Zelda. Breath of the Wild is getting much better traction because those people who have returned to Nintendo again are very positive about it. Long term sales are heavily dependent on word of mouth and BotW beats TP comfortably in that category. You can go wherever you want and do what you want; you aren't funneled through episodes of catching light bugs. |
Whoever said no switch this party is close to a million. Mario+Rabbids is there and so is puyo puyo returns super bomberman was close though I don't know about that one. Plus Skyrim, doom and FIFA are gauranteed that and that's just off the top of my head
Just a guy who doesn't want to be bored. Also
I think lifetime, BotW will do about double Twilight Princess, maybe more. It is going to have some serious legs.
curl-6 bet me that PS5 + X|S sales would reach 56m before year end 2023 and he was right.
My Bet With curl-6

My Bet With Metallox
Updated with week 48! Only 5 more weeks to go!
BotW keeps steady (actually a bit up). I'm staggered at this game's performance... and judging by the US weekly sales already available, next week it will do similar numbers again.
BotW on Switch alone might outsell TP combined (shipped + digital) on the first semester of the year if this keeps up. O.o

Updated with week 49!
The gap now is basically 3m in favor of Breath of the Wild. Twilight Princess on Wii is falling like a rock, which should help Breath of the Wild even more.

So BotW sold almost as much on Switch in one year as TP did LT sales on Wii? Wow, that's much better than I originally expected... well, much worse for TP to be exact, thought it would have reached closer to 10M
