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.

Well MC they are both at a 97.  If you want to figure it all the way down to the decimal, lets actually figure in ALL reviews and include the 8.5 user rating for BotW and the 7.7 for the PS4 version of Red Dead 2.

 

BTW, if you need to go all the way down to the decimal when both are a 97 anyway, it just makes you look like you have something against BotW or Nintendo in this case, which does not help your argument.  This does however, work both ways of course.
