The sales between these games is definitely a different discussion from what is your favourite but I feel GOW2/BOTW2/Splatoon 3 are potentially all being overestimated.

Both GOW2/BOTW2 are Major Mask style direct sequels, I don't think they'll make the same splash as their OG versions. Are there any examples of direct sequels of the same generation, reusing assets etc doing bigger numbers than the original long term? Immediately I think of Galaxy 2, Pokemon Black and White 2, Sun and Moon 2. GOW2 will at least benefit from launching on a new platform. I can see Splatoon 3 declining everywhere apart from Japan.

Horizon however I think will jump to new heights as there's a day and night difference in content shown off so far and although original was a hit I think there's plenty room to grow. Pokemon Archeus feels like a wild card.
