I wouldn't be so sure about that. Horizon: Zero Dawn sold through 2.6 million in its first two weeks. Zelda BOTW for the Switch sold in (shipped + digital) 2.76 million copies in its first month. Obviously, Zelda BOTW has been held back by the installbase, so maybe Zelda would reach 5 million faster than Horizon if it had the same installbase to sell to, but that's just a hypothetical scenario.

Though I don't expect Sony to announce 5 million for HZD anyway, so we may never know.

Well, I don't wanna pick a fight, but looking at the numbers than europe is the only region where Horizon beats Zelda (Switch). If we combine both versions of Zelda, it is long past Horizon, but looking at Switch-version alone it managed to get 2.76M at May 13th (VGC), while Horizon has 2.84M. And that week Zelda sold 70K more than Horizon. So we can assume that by now Zelda Switch has overtaken Horizon worldwide. In europe on the other hand that will probably never happen, Horizon will keep staying in front.

VGChartz doesn't track digital, and I guess digital sales are a lot higher for Horizon. Sales in the US and Japan are probably higher for Zelda even if we count digital sales, but I think it's very close worldwide.
