Are people going to necrobump all those threads now? Is this the insecurity that people have been talking about on these forums lately?

Necrobumps of wrong predictions has been a thing the entire time I've been on this site.

But can we also quote post from this thread and from specific user who predicted that HZD won't do good at all?
this necrobumping goes both ways.
LudicrousSpeed said: The first thing that shoots out to me when thinking back on this comparison is the gargantuan difference in pricing you see from MicroSony versus Nintendo. These two games released days apart and yet Sony is selling the complete edition of Horizon for $16 on their store and Nintendo is still charging $60 for the standard Breath of the Wild. Horizon complete edition has been $20 at retail for awhile now. Pretty sure you can pencil Zelda in for a win here. |
That's true it shows how strong Nintendo IPS are. Even with full price, minor discounts and some retailers selling at $45 or lower. It's truly a remarkable feat that it has an awesome legs. BOTW is one of those games that it's truly a must have for Switch.
As for HZD a new IP sold 7.8M thru customer is also a great feat. Sony already profited a lot from the 3.4M sales they got early on. I can argue that that HZD won't reach this high but It will also bodes well for the IP because majority of the people who bought HZD loves it and it might translate for a better revenue and sales for the sequel with that in mind it's a great strategy for Sony.
So it's a win for both a new ip sold really well and BoTW exploded in sales and expanding the IP but with the comparison BoTW is the clear winner in sales.
