Guess which console has the bigger user base at the moment.

54 million customers on PS4 vs 13 million on Wii U and less than 2 million on Switch.

So,  who can sell their software the most?

Theres actually a sales nr in the article.

They say ~80k, which means about or almost 80k.

Abit below 80k is less than 1/4th of a million (which is 250k units).

This is the only one I strongly disagree with, especially when talking MS vs Sony onwed franchises. And new IPs have, on average, sold better on the PS4 than the X1.

80k Switches sold in the UK? Haha so how can a game top charts if the system hasn't even sold there yet..

Zelda will probably sell 5-7m lifetime 

1. It's a new IP. Plenty of New IPs have failed. Check out the thread of tearaway and everyone being certain that the ps4 version would sell better because the instalbase of ps4 is much larger than that of psv. In the end Tearaway sold close to a million on psv and flopped on ps4. As for games with high meta like Horizon, plenty of examples like Pupeteer not selling well. It's not guaranteed to sell well. just because of the userbase. 

2. First party games don't sell as well on Sony consoles as xb1 and ninty games do on their respective consoles. Especially new IPs.

3. A lot of highly acclaimed games launched the last couple of weeks that some people must have bought. Those people may not be able to justify another purchase when they haven't even beaten those.

4. Sony games get price cuts weeks or months after launch. Ninty games usually don't. It'd be wise for a ps4 owner to wait a few weeks before buying Horizon. It doesn't even have multiplayer so no need to buy it at launch.

5. A lot of ps4 owners probably have huge bakclogs and they can't justify a new purchase (I'm talking about games that came out years ago, not Ni-oh, Near, Yakuza, etc).

6. They have far more options to choose from than switch owners. Hundreds of games they could get through a sale or second hand.

7. They may rather spend their money on one of the many huge 3rd party games coming out in the next few weeks/months and buy Horizon later or never.

8. They didn't just buy a new console, so there is no need to buy at least one game to justify its purchase. So, for example, I have a ps4 and won't buy a ps4 game this week. If I were to buy a Switch, I'd at least buy one game to make some use of it. Zelda is easily the best option (also one of the very few options).

If by acknowledging that installbase is important and the main argument to explain Zelda's sales is a strawman, then sure, I'm totally using a strawman tactic.

#4 "doesn't have multiplayer" Lamest most overrated excuse ever. Had good game had multiplayer this first time around most likely something else within it would have failed, graphics, story you name it. Does Zelda warrant multiplayer?
