What is widely considered to be the greatest game ever made in one of Nintendo's most prized, cherished, and beloved franchises and one of the most *ahem* legendary franchises in all of gaming selling very well on a scorching hot Nintendo system? How about that!!

I have stopped sipping on that coolaid a loong loong loong time ago. 

Now I have just learnt that there will always be yet another greatest game ever made. 

Doesn't make the game any less big than what it is.
The fact of the matter is, people were willing to pay $360 + tax, minimum, to play just Zelda on the Switch. The game sold more copies (2.76) than the Switch shipped units (2.74) in its first month, over a 100% attach rate. There are very, very, VERY few franchises capable of that.
And it has consistently remained among the top selling games 8 months after its release, despite new releases coming out for the Switch. Kind of like how Grand Theft Auto V has kept selling consistently great despite coming out on PS4 3 years ago AND being a port. Breath of the Wild is the Switch's GTA V. It's gonna keep going, and going, and going, and going, for a looong time.
