Can we get a quarterly chart for Mario sales to compare?

That's a reasonable request.  Here are both charts.  

Super Mario Odyssey quarterly sales (in millions)

	2017	2018	2019	2020
March 31		1.34	0.68	0.82
June 30		0.76	0.5
Sept 30		1	0.44
Dec 31	9.07	1.59	1.21

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild quarterly sales (in millions)

	2017	2018	2019	2020
March 31	2.76	1.78	1.09	1.07
June 30	1.16	0.84	0.84
Sept 30	0.78	0.96	0.93
Dec 31	2	1.4	1.8

Looks like both games had good legs in 2018, but Zelda's legs kept going after that.  I've gotta say, even though I predicted Zelda would have better legs, both games are selling better than I expected.  It will be interesting to see how far both games go in the end.

Thanks for putting this together. Both games have had a fantastic start to 2020 so far.

BotW sold more but Mario Odyssey actually increase quite a bit from last year.
