Some people really pull stuff out of their ass. I mean you are on a website dedicated to sales figures. Where you got all the tools and graphs at your disposal to do your own research. Yet people don't like to put in a little effort. So concerning that 'big gap' you were talking about let me do the math for you:

According to this website as of March 11 combined sales for Breath of the wild are:

2,118,000

HZD is at 

2,198,000

Difference:

80,000 units 

Doesn't seem that big of a gap now does it? Seems to me that in a week or two HZD will be trailing behind. 

Keep in mind that combined install base for switch and wiiu is 40 million behind ps4, I say that's mighty impressive. 

 

Did I hurt your feelings or something?

Let me hit you with some Inductive reasoning. Zelda sales is depended upon how many Nintendo Switch consoles is up on the market, and since there is 2.4mil Switch consoles (currently sold out), that means it's fair to say a maximum of 2.4mil Zelda can be bought on that platform at this given moment. Meanwhile there is 13.9 million Wii U, and Zelda only manages 0.64 mil on that. So if you think it'll break the gap then I'd say that's wishful thinking. It all depends on how fast Nintendo can push out Nintendo Switches. Good luck I guess.

 

So it took Breath of the Wild about 15 days (march 3rd - march 18th) to overtake HZD in retail sales. 2,384,000 vs 2,355,000
Can we agree that the gap was very short lived? Or will you hit me again with some inductive reasoning?  
Seems to me that from now on the gap between Zelda and Horizon will only get bigger.
So do you think that HZD can close the gap or is that wishful thinking?
