Isolating the UK, Astro has continued to chart ahead of Zelda in the physical charts since about mid November. Going by typical physical digital split, that I think would put Astro a fair bit ahead in weekly sales physical+digital.

This week in the UK physical chart
Astro 15
Zelda 23

If this pattern keeps trend in other western markets, it'd probably equal out/compensate for the Astro's weak Japanese performance. Zelda still has the benefit from a much bigger but come Switch 2 I'd expect Astro's legs to make more and more of difference. But yeah, we won't see Astro catching up to Zelda (if it ever does) til some point next year

It also depends on how Echoes of wisdom will benefit from price cut promotions that it will probably start to get this year.
