The prediction has been fulfilled!
I originally predicted Breath of the Wild (Switch + Wii U combined) would outsell Super Mario Odyssey. Last Wii U sales figures reported were 1.5m for Zelda: BotW. Adding this to the Switch totals yields the table below.
BotW vs. Odyssey sales (in millions)
| 3/31/2018 | 3/31/2019 | 6/30/2019 | |
| Mario Odyssey | 10.41 | 14.44 | 14.94 |
| Breath of the Wild | 9.98 | 14.27 | 15.11 |
| Zelda lead | -0.43 | -0.17 | 0.17 |
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (combined) has outsold Super Mario Odyssey as of June 30, 2019!
This actually happened even faster than I thought. Zelda has some amazing legs. I guess now I'll have to keep watching to see if the Switch only version of Zelda can outsell Odyssey on its own. Breath of the Wild really is an amazing game.
curl-6 bet me that PS5 + X|S sales would reach 56m before year end 2023 and he was right.
