It's really disappointing the reasoning here. Wii U is dead and manage to sell 400K copies in USA alone. Acting WiiU doesn't exist. Some people here. ( Damage Control )
People acting here that Zelda is in disadvantage and Horizon all has the advantage. The only advantage Horizon has is the install base ( a bit of days ). Also, the new IP syndrome hold back Horizon. Luckily it has a great Meta and good word of mouth that cause legs even in Japan.
Meta Critic, Love franchise by many, Proven IP, A big First party game and a launch title for Switch those are Zelda's advantage.
Switch is supply constraint yes but Zelda was also release in WiiU even if Switch is supply constrain it is still available on a bigger install base than Switch acting that WiiU doesn't exist is comical. Any sane people that cannot find a Switch to play Zelda will look for an alternative to play Zelda and that will be WiiU.
With the numbers now on NPD. Zelda is under tracked and Zelda could have beaten Horizon when you combine all the numbers.
