| PotentHerbs said: I found a bundle on Amazon that fits your description with availability dating back to the holidays of 2019. Far from multiple holiday seasons & during one of the lowest years for PS4 sales to boot. BoTW is the only Zelda title that is a massive seller (IE. 20+ Million). Even GT5 outsold Skyward Sword on the Wii. Like I said, the competition on the Playstation platform makes price cuts necessary, from God of War to Red Dead Redemption 2 to Fallout 4 to Grand Theft Auto V to Spiderman. With that line of thinking, Rockstar isn't close to Nintendo's level because they need to sell their games on multiple platforms with many price cuts, which is absolutely absurd. |
In 2018 there was a bundle for the PS4 + TLOU Remastered + God of War + Detroit Become Human. In 2019 there was a bundle for a PS4 + TLOU Remastered + God of War + Horizon Zero Dawn. So that does seem like multiple holiday seasons with a God of War bundle.
Stating that BotW is the only Zelda title that is a massive seller does you no favors when you recall that God of War 2018 is the only God of War title that is a massive seller. Also, to note, Splatoon 1 outsold GT 6 on a console that only produced 13M vs 85M+. In addition, Splatoon 2 outsold GT Sport. Let's take an objective look at the data:
God of War 2018 (estimated 20M+), Horizon Zero Dawn (Estimated 10M+) and Gran Turismo Sport (estimated 8M+)
vs.
Pokemon Sword and Shield (21.85M), Breath of the Wild (23.2M) and Splatoon 2 (12.21M)
If you gave me this data and told me each of these games were getting a new entry and asked which group I think would sell more I'd definitely pick the Nintendo group. Also, IMO, Splatoon 2 sales were handicapped being on a brand new device. I could see Japan going crazy for that game again now that there are over 20M Switch owners in Japan. The BIGGEST thing going for the Playstation group is that it is on two devices, but one device is on it's way out and the other is brand new (both extremes are when software sales are at their lowest).
Anyway, just thought I'd throw my two cents in there.
