Vgchartz is a pretty good archive for software sales. They have totals and regional breakdown from a lot of old games. http://www.vgchartz.com/game/2399/the-legend-of-zelda-ocarina-of-time/ I can tell you when I get back home. It was probably a holiday, like Golden Week (which we'll see if Zelda had a decent boost from this Wednesday). |
Here's my edit from after you quoted me: VGC did. Doesn't seem like it'll pass OoT to me, though. Especially considering it's also lagging behind Phantom Hourglass and they released that outside the holiday season as well. (Although, the Switch does have a considerably smaller install base at this point.)
I think a more likely comparison would be Twilight Princess. In this case, they both were launch titles so they both sold to a smaller userbase in the beginning which stretched their legs as people picked it up further down the road. Cross-referencing BotW (NS) to TP (Wii) makes it seem as though BotW will certainly outsell TP (maybe in the 650-750k range compared to TP's 600k. More with NS + Wii U combined, obviously, but I still don't see that surpassing OoT either), but definitely not Splatoon, or anywhere next to it.
