Horizon is no doubt still the #1 sku for the year including digital. And it's retail sales have been huge lately with its $40 price point.

Zelda really should be beating it in the end but if Horizon replaces uncharted 4 as the standard ps4 slim/pro bundle this holiday and into next year it can hang with it in the long run.

Crazy to think a game by guerilla is challenging a pillar of gaming culture like Zelda.

Well Kero, Zelda games have never been juggernauts in terms of commercial reception, rather than critical one. This might be the first evergreen Zelda title since... Ocarina of Time maybe?

zelda on consoles always sell like 4 million or more.

Zelda nes 6.50m

zelda snes 4.60m

ocarina of time n64 7.60m

majoras mask 3.36m

wind waker 4.60m

TP 7.16m wii and 1.59m GC

SW 3.95m

pretty good numbers for the genre and one console.
