Well the surprise on Switch stuff was somewhat ruined. Not sure what the celebrations about Zelda outperforming a new western IP is about. We are not pretending Nintendo is some kind of underdog in Japan now are we?

Great launch for Horizon

Well, it is a western IP on a 4 million userbase VS a slowly, declining series (in Japan) in a new system. And western IPs are making a rise in Japan, as well. Of course, it was hard for HZD to outsell something like Zelda, but the odds were pointing at it.

I guess what people were forgeting is that LE + normal editions are combined in these charts, but separated on the other charts.

Bet with bluedawgs: I say Switch will outsell PS4 in 2018, he says PS4 will outsell Switch. He's now permabanned, but the bet will remain in my sig.

I love how the WiiU still sold more than the Xbox One

It's comg points were leading us to believe a 75k opening could be possible. Similar to the witcher 3. But Horizon smashed our expectations!

I guess the Japanese decided for us which is the better open world game.

So when horizon is shown to have sold better in the UK or NA does that mean its the better open world game then?

Good launch for Switch.

Decent for Dragon Quest Heroes as usual, pretty bad for Setsuna and Disgaea 5.

Pretty good for the PS4 trinity. The next few weeks will be interesting for the PS4 and Switch alike.

Surprised Zelda didn't get over 200k retail on the Switch.

Horizon did absolutely amazing. Superb comg ratio.

Gta V actually increased this week and this budget version is almost at 300k!

Ps4 hardware at 37k super healthy. It's the #1 console YTD too which is nice!

Zelda didnt do more than that because it was sold out, otherwise it would have done more than 200k.As for proof, people have been saying here that many people who pre-ordered Zelda at COMG didnt receive its copy.

My (locked) thread about how difficulty should be a decision for the developers, not the gamers.
