Horizon is a new unproven IP, and it came out 3 days before Zelda. 

hmmm if i remember correctly there is a website that tracks weekly hardware/software sales for video games.........i cant recall the name though

its hard to do a direct comparison since Wii had a staggered launch along with the Gamecube version releasing later but here are the sales of the Wii version by region compared to Switch version.

It's not realy shocking, maybe in the longrun zelda will end up outselling horizon.

Yeah, I can't either... It's on the tip of my tongue too... (I didn't know it had FW sales data too, haha...)

Thanks for the info. It looks like it did better by a some amount.

Doesn't matter, Zelda will sell better long term.

Those "first week" numbers are only two days worth for botW versus a whole week for horizon. Two days and Zelda almost outsold it.

So no, Horizon did not outsell zelda.

Both games deserve the success though.

I was planning on making a thread of my own about this, but instead Ill just leave the comment here :D

I was amazed by how gerrilla went from a dark/gray FPS, to HZD. I started paying it and was OK for me. Its gameplay its really good. Walking here, there, getting stomped by a giant machine suddenly, etc... But I felt I was playing just for the gameplay only, but damn... I stopped grinding and started going forward in story, and damn, it surprised me how they grabbed my attention, since I didnt expect a good narrative or story at all, just dominating machines and stuff.

EDIT: Oh and regarding zelda, I have it, put it just to know it was working, and went back to HZD. I dont want to overlap games this good.

A new game on a 55m sold console sold better than one on a new console and that just released and is out of stock almost everywhere (where most of Zelda's sales will likely be) and a dead console that barely sold 13m? 

Shocking.

Oh sorry Rol I wasn't aware that you were watching SG season 2, in that case zelda will outsell horizon for sure.

Keep watching
