Yes, you are right. Other titles did sell really close as well such as Ocarina of Time, Goldeneye, and Twilight Princess, but my point is not near the sales of more casual, multiplayer friendly titles. I personally think that BoTW will likely surpass 10 million due to the timing of its release and its impact on the Switch console, but it is just as concievable that Mario Kart 8, Splatoon, and other more multiplayer friendly titles will take the wind out of those sales going into the Holiday. |
That usually doesn't happen. Zelda will sell better due to the installbase increase that MK8D brings forth. Those MK8 and Splatoon players need something else to scratch their Switch itch. It's not that conceivable, really.
As the installbase increases, so do sales of other games. Because new owners can't just play a single game. Zelda will be the primary title to buy alongside other evergreen titles. Zelda itself is already proving to be an evergreen game itself, so it should leg out nicely.
Keep in mind that Zelda is selling this well with Switch supply constraints.
