Forums - Gaming Discussion - Zelda BOTW is the best-selling console game of the year despite a price of > $300

Horizon sold more digital though



Around the Network

No way, that is way too much of a leap



wut?? this thread makes no sense. Obviously Zelda is the main system seller so far. Though with Splatoon about to come out that is now the main system seller in Japan. And umm, Zelda is the only game people are getting the Switch for?? Are you kidding me? First of all there's Mario Kart which will outdo Zelda in sales, Splatoon is about to come out which is huge, and of course people are buying a Switch also because the system is just awesome and for its future games, as every person buys any console for.



I just want to point out that Zelda is no longer the only big game of the Switch.It was during March and April, but at this point we also have Mario Kart, ARMS and Splatoon 2(its close enough to claim this), so your point is half right.

But yeah, Zelda sales are incredibles.



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

This is a huge stretch of reality.

People are NOT buying Switch exclusively for Zelda. They're buying it to have Nintendo's new platform, and buying it right now because they want to play Zelda on it right now, but many have bought Mario Kart too. Many have bought other games.



I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.

The fact that BOTW is on the Wii U already blows a massive hole in your theory.

TL;DR ... OP describes so called "system seller" like it was some kind of phenomenon that never happened before

I think there is a bigger pheomenon. the game at one stage a trakcign higher than the console sales. 

Mainly cause people like me bought the limited editio with the sword statue and yet to buy the console lol.

This is a troll thread that brings the widespread troll logic of other people to its logical end. It's a case of trolling biting people's own ass. It's doubtful that Mnementh is bothered by people calling this out, because if the logic is followed in reverse, it ends at the people who were trolling in the first place. This thread is about drawing attention to the poor posts that don't want to die. It's trolling the trolls.

And that is still a silly thing to do.

He's becoming the thing he is parodying.



Up to now it's the best selling handheld game and the best selling home console game. If you combine their sales it could go on to beat CoD and FIFA.

So true. All switch sales in reality should be doubled for accuracy.
