Benefits Zelda has over Astro Bot:

Bigger IP, also selling well in all major markets, while Astro Bot is getting low sales in Japan.

It would be embarrasing for Astro if they lost: Its GOTY 2024, has the PS5Pro behind it and it was hyped like crazy. If a 2D top down Zelda sells more on a handheld thats about to be replaced that would be quite embarrasing. Well, i guess we do not even have to start sending Mario in, if Astro got outsold by a small Zelda game, heavely critisized by its fans... I really do not want to hurt anyones feelings here but thats the way it looks right now. 1,5 million in 2 months vs 2,58 million in a few days is like day and night! There is no way to spin that around or even excuse that. People thinking this could only remotley come close to Mario's sales should give up drinking or smoking wired stuff!‚ This prediction was just crazy! 

Nobody said anything anywhere in this thread about Astro Bot coming close do Mario sales. Astro Bot wasn't advertised with the PS5 Pro, it's not a upgraded game. The Zelda reception wasn't as mixed as you're sugesting, it has a 8.4 user score on Metacritic.

Will have to wait a couple more months before I can say AstroBot has decent legs. It doesn't look like it'll beat Zelda in lifetime sales unless ported to Nintendo platforms.

It should beat Zelda once it gets a PC release

The question is I think this thread is asking about PS5 vs Switch sales, otherwise there will be then sales for the inevitable Switch 2 version of Zelda

So far I'm leaning 80% in favour for Zelda winning in sales

Is a Switch 2 version of EoW inevitable? I think upgrades from BOTW and TOTK can happen, but even these are not guaranteed. I'm even less sure if they will make Switch 2 versions for the 2D Zeldas. 

But even without a Switch 2 SKU I think EoW will still sell more.
