And if you enjoy open world action-adventure games, RDR2 is the better game.

 

And that's strictly based on numbers, which are objective.

The entire topic is objective.  RDR2 is not better than BotW, nor is BotW better than RDR2.  This is undeniable fact.

 

As far as numbers go, both games have a 97 on metacritic.  Red Dead 2 might be selling more, but the game is on both the X1 and the PS4.  In fact the number of PS4s in the wild alone eclipse the combined number of WiiU and Switch.  With that in mind, one could argue that sales numbers for BotW are more impressive than that of Red Dead 2.

 

However the fact of the matter is that both are arguably equal in quality and therefore subject to personal preference in gameplay style and setting being the only deciding factor.

Well this debate started when someone mentioned that in Gamerankings BotW is rated slightly higher than RDR2, but when you count all the reviews RDR2 is rated slightly higher (like in Metacritic for example). I just found it a bit annoying when so small difference was brought up and wanted to counter it.

 

I didn't mean sales numbers and who knows where they will land.
