one released LIVE with a million (2 at max) in week 1, the other released on like 55 million consoles.
It's not remotely surprised if Horizon beat it in the first week. Major question marks whether it will be able to in the longrun though, and frankly Horizon Zero Dawn's first week sales weren't that amazing considering the install base. Just for perspective a 2 million launch (or a bit less or whatever it was) is not something THAT unusual on the PS4 at this point, and giant IPs on similar install bases achieve much more (Call of Duty, Pokemon, etc.).
Solid for Horizon being a new IP however I would argue it came out with a lot of hype so. Really depends on what the budget for the game was whether or not its a success.
Regardless, I wouldn't brag about beating a game that launched with the system.
also a poll was useless because people will answer who haven't played both games, and obviously, again, the game that's on the platform of 55 million (rather than 2 million) is going to have far more people who've played it at this point (and not BOTW) and will vote automatically based no their positive experience with the one game
Great first weeks for both games though really, solid for Horizon given its a new IP, solid for Zelda considering it was limited by the limited amount of Switch owners.
strange thread though tbh as its literally exactly what you would expect to happen (i.e. Horizon having the bigger launch on the big userbase, and Zelda very likely having better legs).
