BOTW was in a weird situation where it came out on both a practically brand new console, and a completely dead console, with a decent chunk of people who still used their Wii U moving on to the Switch (not everyone obviously, there are users here who bought the Wii U version after all.)

Compounded with the fact that Switches sold out pretty quickly, it's no surprise that Horizon would sell better, due to its much more favorable position.

Regardless, both games did pretty well.



"Just for comparison Uncharted 4 was 20x bigger than Splatoon 2. This shows the huge difference between Sony's first-party games and Nintendo's first-party games."
