Again where was there a mock in the OP or thread title? So being surprised that a brand new IP from a developer that has only reallly done FPS shooter games beating a huge franchise like Zelda is mocking really? How? And because you assumed it was mocking your thought was wellni am going to mock back? Okay....to each his/her own I guess. |
Maybe it's not mocking but definitely is playing with data here, i don't know if people has short memory or what but it's pretty easy, just go to the vgcharts page and check EVERY single zelda game and it's first month numbers, Zelda was never a front loaded franchise as people are painting it to be here, it always had decent but humble numbers compared to other nintendo franchises, just look at the npd numbers, it sold 900k on switch during an entire month, it's a record within zelda sales but if you compare to other franchises from nintendo it's not even an impressive number
What makes zelda selling good is it's legs, so yeah, taking a game that was never front loaded and on a console supply constrained isn't a good comparison, maybe in a year we'll have the larger picture but using zelda to praise horizon sales is just...a better comparison to horizon would be ghost recon but when we compare a REAL front loaded franchise both horizon and zelda sales looks mediocre compared to it.
