Well one or two days sales vs a full week, so yeah this thread is pointless right now. Wait for a full month results then we shall no
If the Wii U version was actually around, it would have sold a lot more.
They probably made millions of copies for Switch but only a few hundred thousand for Wii U.
People were concerned they would cancel the Wii U version in favor of Switch. But what Nintendo actually did was screw Wii U owners with a limited number of copies at launch.

| Zekkyou said: While i expect Zelda will end up on top in the end, it's a bit odd that so many in this thread are trying to paint Horizon's initial victory as totally expected when it absolutely was not. Despite the PS4's install-base, only a minority predicted Horizon would sell as well as it has. It was a brand new IP releasing next to the latest entry in a legacy series about to get a push from a brand new console's launch. It was expected to do well, but 1.5m+? Not by many. |
Yeah, I agree with that. I think there was a predition thread, and many predicted less. Not surprisingly, new IPs seldom sell this strongly, Horizon did a great feat here.
| vivster said: Two great games held back by their console overlords to ever reach their full potential. |
Agree.
Horizon has a larger install base to sell. Also, while Zelda is a solid seller, it isn't one of Nintendo's biggest franchises in this aspect. The best it usually reaches is 7M and one of the Wii games even was lower than 4M.
A reasonable number of new IPs sell more than that, they just have to be more commercial to do so: The Division, Destiny, etc. I don't get why people are surprised.

Proof/source? Seems dumb to limit how much money you can make, but then again, NES Classic.

It's available on Amazon.com, Gamestop.com, all of the Gamestops in my area, all of the best buys in my city (New York), Best Buy.com, and Amazon UK. And of course, it is available digitally through the eShop. Doesn't seem to be a shortage.

You're looking after the fact. It -was- sold out and quite limited, and now it's been restocked a bit. It sold out at launch for sure, and amazon still says an extra 1-2 days for shipping for some reason.
Anyway, I think Zelda will leg out. It's constantly high up on big websites whereas horizon has fallen/peaked out a bit. Not to mention horizon got a full week and Zelda 2 days, and limited number of switches (Zelda sold almost 1-1 so can't really go much higher than what the Switch stock allows)

Nope. No matter how many threads people will make about these two games, it's already settled that BotW will go down in games history as a masterpiece, HZD as just a good game. |
According to who? You?
Well for me Horizon is a masterpiece, so why is your opinion better than mine?
Why is that even a thing?
Both are successful, which is good, both are great games, which is good, and i even heard it is possible for the same person to play and enjoy both of them for what they are.
Really why should anyone care which one sells better, it doesn't lessen the other game, or does it?
“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”
- George Orwell, ‘1984’
