Well the surprise on Switch stuff was somewhat ruined. Not sure what the celebrations about Zelda outperforming a new western IP is about. We are not pretending Nintendo is some kind of underdog in Japan now are we?

Great launch for Horizon

Well, it is a western IP on a 4 million userbase VS a slowly, declining series (in Japan) in a new system. And western IPs are making a rise in Japan, as well. Of course, it was hard for HZD to outsell something like Zelda, but the odds were pointing at it.

I guess what people were forgeting is that LE + normal editions are combined in these charts, but separated on the other charts.

It's comg points were leading us to believe a 75k opening could be possible.  Similar to the witcher 3. But Horizon smashed our expectations!
