Since Nintendo gave us the numbers for the end of their fiscal year, I figured I'd see how things are progressing compared to last year. As always I'm adding in 1.5m to Breath of the Wild sales since that was the last number I've seen for Wii U sales.
| Mar 31, 2018 report | Mar 31, 2019 report | |
| Mario Odyssey | 10.41m | 14.44m |
| Breath of the Wild | 9.98m | 14.27m |
| difference | 0.43m | 0.17m |
As of Nintendo's latest fiscal report, Mario Odyssey's total sales are still ahead by 0.17m. However it is also clear that Breath of the Wild is gaining ground compared to last year.
As I've been saying since this thread began, this is like the race between the tortoise and the hare. Mario Odyssey raced ahead of Zelda at first, but gradually Zelda is gaining ground. It just has stronger legs. If this pace continues then Zelda should pass Mario by this time next year.
curl-6 bet me that PS5 + X|S sales would reach 56m before year end 2023 and he was right.
My Bet With curl-6
