lol persona 5 looks like ps2 generation game meanwhile xenoblade x is the largest handcrafted open world jrpg and technical master piece on WiiU

did u watch eurogamer DF analysis on xenoblade x before u spouting nonsense without basis?

no wonder western gamers didn't take jrpg seriously nowadays all looks like coming from ps2 era graphics

Zelda games rarely sell above 6 million units. Although I don't think Horizon will come further than 5 million units sold. As for MC Zelda will easily score above 95, Horizon would be lucky to achieve a 90, but 80-85 seems more probable.

I think the success of Zelda BOTW is largely dependant on the success of NX, so I can't make much of a prediction there. Launch titles tend to have inflated sales, though, so I wouldn't be surprised if it beats Horizon by a decent margin.

You gotta be crazy to predict amything beating a  main series Zelda game on metacritic, though. Especially a Guerrilla game. It won't even be close.

P5 and XCX are both JRPG, and did you even take a look at the E3 and Direct comperison? I don't even know why you came out of left field trying to bash on P5. Look, we all know it is a technical master piece on the WiiU, but I was under the impression that WiiU was not competing against PS3 and Xbox360. Is this false?

The comperison photo I put up shows the flaws, you just have to look at it..

That definitely seems to be the case with Nintendo systems.  NSMBU is only behind MK8 in terms of sales, Twilight Princess sold more than 7m and it wasn't bundled, Melee came out close to the GC launch is the best selling GC game, Mario 64 is the best selling N64 game, Mario World is the best SNES game and original SMB is the best selling NES game.

On a personal view. I actually bought a WiiU after the Zelda E3 preview a couple years back, disappointed it was delayed, but understand why because of the NX.

Zelda moves the needle for more people than Horizon will ever hope to. I think sales will be closer than most think even with PS4's huge install base. Should be exciting nonetheless.

Why is xenoblade and P5 getting thrown at here????????

I find it difficult to think how Horizon will sell 5million plus units. Uncharted 4, a popular IP with a huge marketing budget, remaster of originals and bundles has only hit around 5 million now (Inc digital).

The thing about Zelda is, it's one of those franchises that sells regardless and no matter how small the install base might be, the attach rate is always high. GG hasn't been able to achieve that yet and I'm not sure how well having CPR and FO staff will help make it a better a game or get more sales.

Unlike many people, I actually loved KZ2 and 3. SF still has one of the best mp's this gen for me and I still play it here and there.

I have faith Horizon will be a good game, but it's a shame it won't have a mp. No one does GG style mp and now we probably won't see one for at least another 3 years.

I think people need to be honest with themselves here, infamous ss hasn't sold 4 million copies, bloodborne  hasn't sold that number and UC4 is probably just getting close. Even with good praise do we really expect Horizon to break the Sony new IP curse?

The PS3 with an install base of 80+ million was home to many new IP and most of them never sold close to 4 million units. That being said Zelda BoTW will far surpass that number simply because this is probably the most sought after Zelda since Ocarina of Time and it will be on 2 platforms. I think on NX alone the game will probably outsell Horizon due to it being a launch title or close to launch title...

The only chance it has of outselling BotW is if it manages to get the FO and Witcher crowd invested in it. If they release a decent demo and it gets decent reviews, it might be the first GG IP to hit it out of the park.
