Wait.....it is not even playing with data. Who ever said Zelda was front loaded lol? Literally NO ONE has said that or even made that out to be the case, The only thing this thread and the OP said was that it was surprising(and it is) that a brand new franchise that is unproven. Did better first week than a game that is as big as Zelda. How is that in anyway or form playing with data or acting as if Zelda was front loaded? Heck again MOST people didn't even think that Horizon would sell lifetime what it sold in under 2 weeks. So add that to the fact that it outdid Zelda FW then it was surprising and impressive. And that is all the OP said.

Also yes the Switch was supply constrained but there were about 13 million Wii U users so we can't  just ignore them. 

Really? No one?

That's foolish of you to say. Word of mouth is so strong with HZD. It will keep selling. I imagine it will outleg Zelda because most people that want the game are already lined up for it. Just look at a movie like Avatar. No one knew what the heck it was but word of mouth kept its weekly $$$$ from falling. I think Zelda will quickly die out as I think it is very frontloaded while HZD has far more room to grow as it's such a new IP.
