So over 1 million in 1 month is crap? How does that even make sense? An unproven new IP selling over 1million in its first month alone is now crap....what kind of sales were you expecting then for it not to be crap is my question now?

Well I would have expected US to be higher than 1 million at the end of the month. Considering the game sold 2.6 millions in 2 weeks and is probably very close or even a bit over 3 million at the first of April. So compared to European numbers which are probably over 1.5 milion including digital as April the first. Besides this gsme had a shit ton of marketing, so it was pretty much bound to do well.

That is odd though first week alone it our performed lots of big games Like RE7, TC: Ghost Recon Wildlands, For Honor on PS4 alone and almsot better than combined for both platforms. It did a little over 100k less than FFXV did on PS4 alone first week. For a brand new IP marketed or not that s pretty darn impressive. And no marketing does not mean that a game is bound to do well at all lol. So we just diagree here I guess. Over 1 million for the first month on a brand new IP is pretty darn good in my book.

Yep and as far as retail goes BoTW is definitely ahead. But in my personal opinion with digital I can see HZD being ahead of BoTW even though in the end I feel BoTW will sell more. BUT as of now seeing as digital is MUCH(one would think anyway) bigger on PS4 than Switch or Wii U then that gives a slight edge to HZD for now....

Cannot disagree with this analysis.

That's because you are very logical and make good points lol!
