With digital included For Honor and Ghost Recon has more sales,

I didn't think that many people bought console games digitally. The difference between Ghost Recon and Zelda is about 200k.

PC digital sales

Yasss Zelda has outsold Horizon so far.

Maybe, I wouldn't be 100% sure until we see digital sales.

But digital is included for Hoirzon but not Zelda...

Was that really surprising?

It is when zelda has nobody to sell to

na, not when there is only like 2 games for the switch. those nododys still need games to buy, or the 2 games to buy.

Isn't the Switch the fastest selling Nintendo system in the US?



I said this would happen after the Switch hype died. I don't even see the commercials any more. You look at the best selling games are Zelda and Mario Kart wgich proves it's just Nintendo fans buting it who are moving on from WiiU. 1-2 Switch has not sold well and Arms is selling less than that. I expect the PS4 to outsell the Switch every month both in the U.S. and globally for the remainder of the year.PS4 is king baby.

Even. if it did it means nothing. Zelda is the only reason to own Switch and has no competition. Horizon is a new IP with tons of competition. Zelda should be selling better than what it is and the Swiych version destroyed the WiiU version which proves WiiU owners are the only ones buying Switch

So no SwitchPro for you.

That's fine. I'm not much of a hardware guy.

No problem, enjoy the current Switch and games =]

Yeah, I don't really get it. it's a short term remedy that is making the situation worse down the line. But good for marketing I assume. Now they both did it, Sony and Nintendo.

I don't recall Sony making a PR thing out of it. I do recall Nintendo doing so and several articles latching on to the Switch shortage issues.

At least not directly, they may have pointed some times that stock issues were a problem (and they are doing it with Pro)

In USA and not totally unexpected, a 30 year legendary IP versus a new IP

This couldnt be more wrong.Switch is selling out in most places, many games are selling great, other than Zelda and Mario Kart, like Bomberman,Blaster Master, Snipperclips, Neo Geo games, etc.We have no sales information about ARMS, so you are pulling that one out of your ass.1-2 Switch is a shitty game and even that sold more than 1 million units.

Switch is fine.The hype is actually bigger than when it started, and unless the supply problem gets worse than it is, we might see some healthy competition betwenn PS4 and Switch, at the very least if NPD is concerned.



My (locked) thread about how difficulty should be a decision for the developers, not the gamers.
