Where are the HDZ sales coming from then? 2.6mil first 2 weeks WW. Unless europe is really taking it all in?

Its easily over 750k and maybe it could be ahead of ME if digital is included

Switch sold over 1.3 million software; 1-2 Switch with 19% attach rate (Anyone wanna do the maths?)



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.

Ghost Recon launched on consoles with over 30ml users combined and Zelda launched on consoles with less than 7m users combined. So it make sense that it sold more than Zelda.

Is that stealthy downplaying of Horizon Zero Dawn?

No

Was already done. ~172k for 1-2-Switch. Calculated based on hardware sales of 906k.

Since 1 2 Switch sold 172k that means all other Switch games besides Zelda and 1 2 Switch sold a total of 228k.

Means that For Honor sold over 1.4m. Impressive for a new IP imo.

*** denotes lack of digital sales in ranking

Ghost Recon Wildlands had the best Ghost Recon debut ever and was the 2nd best debut of any Tom Clancy title ever behind The Division. 1-2 Switch has an attach rate of 19%, which would put it at ~172k copies sold (excluding digital sales). Mass Effect Andromeda's debut was bigger than the 1st and 2nd Mass Effect games, but smaller than Mass Effect 3's launch. Horizon Zero Dawn was Guerrilla Games' biggest debut ever, selling twice as much as its next best title, Killzone Shadow Fall.

Also, from now on Microsoft's digital numbers will be included in the rankings.

Does the ME2 launch include just the 360 launch or the PS3 launch as well? Not that surprising it did worse than ME3, given the fact it was tracked less days, and also critically panned.



Made a bet with LipeJJ and HylianYoshi that the XB1 will reach 30 million before Wii U reaches 15 million. Loser has to get avatar picked by winner for 6 months (or if I lose, either 6 months avatar control for both Lipe and Hylian, or my patrick avatar comes back forever).

So, Horizon and Zelda didn't include digitial, so I wonder how close it really was.
