I have no doubt that Breath of the Wild will be among the top-selling games not only of March, but of the year overall. Having played a bunch of it this week, I say it deserves to! That said, I'm well into Neir: Automata right now and while I doubt it's going to sell nearly as well as Zelda or Horizon, there's no doubt in my mind that it nonetheless DESERVES TO! I'm actually starting to like Nier: Automata better than both of the other two!

I bought Nier and Nioh in the Target 2 for 1 sale (also got Ghost Recon) but Nier isn't scheduled to arrive until next week! I'm really eager to get my hands on it. Between it, Nioh, Horizon and Mass Effect, though, I am spending way more time and money than I should on these games, ha. 

 

And for those calling for a ps4 price cut (I think there's really only been one), it would be extremely worrying for Nintendo if they don't outsell the ps4 this month. The ps4 is likely going to do around 300k, and the Switch should really be up around 750k or 1 million or so. Besides, I don't think Sony really sees Nintendo as their competition when compared to Microsoft. The ps4 and Xbox One are much more similar than the ps4 and the Switch, which I think are distinct enough from one another to serve two groups of consumers without necessarily a gargantuan amount of overlap. I hope the Switch does very well, and don't see it hurting the ps4 in any way. 

Yeah i don't think the PS4 will be hurt by the Switch.  People talking about this and that potential trouble for Playstation and Switch are imo missing the actual brand in trouble: Xbox.  Sony has Nioh, Horizon, Nier, and Persona 5.  Nintendo has Dragon Quest VIII and Fire Emblem Echoes for 3DS and Zelda, Bomberman, Arms, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, and Splatoon not long after those plus other smaller support titles.  Microsoft has...Halo Wars 2 (shared with PC) and the cancelation of Scalebound for pretty much the first *half* of the year.  I know everyone will say, "But Scorpio!"  Yeah that won't help unless the Xbox brand has muscle behind it in the form of games.  Playstation got away with the Pro's initial usefulness being somewhat underwhelming because 1) PSVR and 2) the Playstation brand is red hot.  The Xbox brand is not red hot and Microsoft's current behavior is making it worse.
