BULLSHIT! BULLSHIT EVERY TIME!!

 

To dismiss the small but pretty good catalog of titles available on Switch is stupid.

 

Disgaea, ARMS, FAST RMX, I Am Setsuna, Shantae, Mario Kart, The Binding of Isaac, etc. Those are all pretty decent games that fill in for different genres. It also seems like developers are making money out of their titles on Switch: Snipperclips, Kamiko, FAST RMX, Disgaea; they're all selling pretty well and their developers/publishers/whatever have been vocal about it. 

 

If you're going to make up excuses as to why Zelda has sold pretty well and Horizon hasn't set the world on fire like the fanboys wanted, at least put some effort into it.

Those are all old games and barring Mario kart none have sold well.

What's bullshit is fanboys using the install base excuse for why an established franchise like Zelda is even in competition with a brand new IP like Horizon. It's like if Call of Duty was going neck in neck with Splatoon.lol

As BOTW is on trail to outsell all previous Zelda-games it isn't that BOTW performs bad, only that Horizon did better than expected. A feat that shouldn't be diminished. Fact stays though, that Zelda outsells Horizon. That is a simple and clear fact despite all fanboy bullshit regarding Switch install base and regarding all fanboy bullshit regarding competition on the PS4. We all know, that both of these excuses don't have a major influence on game-sales.
