If Horizon's numbers are correct, then it'll be a major seller and a major playstation franchise. Its first week numbers are superior to the likes of Uncharted 2 and TLOU. Also better than any of the killzone's games, by far. It will be GG's best selling game ever 3 weeks in, at the latest. It will possibly sell 7+ million WW, which is huge.

Zelda, for all its critical accolades (which I think it ends up being overrated due to nostalgia, but I digress), has never really set the world on fire in the sales departments. That is, no game has ever reached the 8+ million sales (if you count a single sku and not combined re-releases).

It will be very interesting to compare sales numbers of Zelda BotW and Horizon at end of March or April, those numbers of Switch version are just for two days of Switch on market with low stocks. And yes, this Zelda looks like at least 7m+ seller.

The more appropriate number would be a quarter or two from now, when Switch has more than just the one game to sell and Horizon has also had the chance to establish its legs (or lack thereof).

I agree with the bolded, though that just puts it at the top end of typical Zelda sales.
