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.

Crazy to think a game on a 3 million unit console is challenging a game on a 60 million unit console.

There's no denying Zelda's a huge success (nor that it's an overall bigger success than Horizon), but i can't help but cringe every time i see comparisons like this made :p It's like flipping a coin, but always doing it again if it's not a heads. In the absence of its accompanying variables it's effectively pointless.
