Breath of the wild sold 7.5 million by the end of 2017.

Since that, it sold another 100k in Japan alone, so Zelda outsold Horizon... but we already knew that.

Horizon Zero Dawn is 7.6m+ sold-through atm (as of 28th February).

I don't even get what is the point of your reply.

Are you saying Zelda has not outsold Horizon? Because that's incorrect.

6 million on Switch by the end of 2017, but it sold another 100k in Japan since that so at least >6.1 million (probabily close to 6.5 million)

Yeah, even 4 million would be considered quite good.

8 million is impossible, which would mean it's almost on Witcher 3, Assassin's Creed and Red Dead Redemption levels, which is too hard for a new open world IP released on just one console.

I guess it's on par with those franchises afterall!!  ;)

Horizon Zero Dawn is 7.6m+ sold-through atm (as of 28th February).

And Zelda sold through (not shipped) 7.5 million as of December 31st (and this is excluding Latin America, Asia and some other regions), two months earlier than Horizons 7.6 million on February 28th worldwide.

Zelda sold over 100k in japan alone, let alone everywhere else. It’s excluding some regions, it’s outdated by 2 months time compared to Horizons. Zelda is still above Horizon in sold through numbers, and it has yet to have any official price cuts/sales or real rereleases compared to Horizon. It’s last known numbers are lower than Horizons last known numbers but again, I reiterate, it’s two months outdated and missing some regions, and considering Japan alone closes the gap between them within those two months, Zelda is definitely still above Horizon.

What about zelda switch vs horizon? 

$60 game vs. $20 game.

If Zelda got that many discounts so soon it would've sold 14M on the Switch by now.

To bad I couldn't find the 20 HZD on launch... was Zelda release for 20 USD?

Azzanation: "PS5 wouldn't sold out at launch without scalpers."

If we could could harness the sheer amount of wrong in this thread, and convert it into energy, we could power a metropolis for a couple weeks. Skimmed through it and found only Erazor_DJ and Jason1637 essentially agreeing with the 8 million figure. Jason1637! A fairly Xbox slanted member. It's all in good fun of course, but this is why I don't stick my neck out too often willy-nilly with predictions.

This is really annoying that we now have yet another a Horizon vs Zelda discussion. The purpose of this revival was to compare results with what was predicted—for Horizon: Zero Dawn. The comparisons are now over, because this is how Zelda/Horizon threads often turn out.

Annoying and sad really.....I just don't get it. We have more than enough Horizon/Zelda threads this one says Horizon and Uncharted in the title yet.....here people are bring up Zelda lol.

Anyway back OT

Great for Horizon! Well deserved for a great game! Can't wait to see what the sequel brings!!!

Tell this to who asked the comparation between the 2 games, because i just replied to him.

My first comment in this thread was about how much Horizon will sell lifetime (9-10 million) + saying that's very good for a new IP, then i leaved the thread.

But if someone ask for a comparation, i'm happy to reply him because i like numbers and comparations, not my fault if someone keep this "Zelda VS Horizon fight" too serius.
