I'm just here looking at Breath of the Wild maintaining a 10-11k baseline, which is considerably and unexpectedly up from the 5-6k baseline it was posting before the holiday bump.
If it maintains that average for the rest of the year, that would bring the Switch version to around 1.3-1.4 million. If that were the case, then including the Wii U version + digital, that would make Breath of the Wild the best selling Zelda game of all-time in Japan as well.
A title currently held by the original on the NES.
Who knows. Including both versions + digital, by the time the next open world game in the series roles around (or Switch 2, whichever comes first), Breath of the Wild could become the very first Zelda game in history to top TWO million.
