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?

Yeah What guiduc said is true. Zelda games sell very well but sales wise its not one of Nintendo's monster IPs. Also HZD isn't really challenging Zelda in sales either. It came out on an install base of over 55 million, while Zelda came out on an install base of 0. So yeah HZD had a much bigger launch but Zelda's legs quickly surpassed HZD and even including digital sales, by the end of the year just the Switch version of Zelda will probably have like a million more sales than HZD, and then of course that gap will only increase in the coming years. Their sales were competitive for a few months due to Zelda being a launch game, that's the only reason (of course being the only huge game at launch also helps Zelda early sales).
