If we compare BoTW to the FIFA and CoD that PS4 launched with it looks like its already beat their lifetime sales. It should beat both of them combined by the end of the year.

If BoTW sells over 11m it will have beat the XB1 and PS4 versions of FIFA 14 (4.2m) and CoD:Ghosts (6.77m) combined.

Why would that comparison matter when talking about the best selling game this year?

It's comparing launch games.
