Forums - Sales - March 2017 NPD Thread! Software charts up!

Zelda sold 900k without digital sales, apparently. But I would never believe it sold 485k (~30%) digitally.



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.

Now, let's call the people that keeps telling us that Horizon doesn't have any competition on the system when comparing the sales of Horizon to Zelda.

Anyway, great for Zelda, Horizon and Nier I am glad it charted. Hooray!!

The 485k is mostly from Wii U.

Slarvax...



The article isn't specifying if it includes Wii U, Switch alone or overall. Just that Zelda sold 900k physical units.

"Zelda nearly managed to claim the top spot on NPD's software chart, although it should be noted that digital sales were not included in the ranking. Instead, Ubisoft's Ghost Recon: Wildlands secured the top position with the "best launch of any Ghost Recon title; and, after Tom Clancy's The Division, it was the second best launch of any Tom Clancy game."

That makes it sound like Zelda would've topped the charts with digital sales included.

Regarding Horizon and Killzone Shadow Fall: NPD made an error, Killzone 2 was Guerrilla's biggest debut before Horizon, not Shadow Fall.
Killzone 2 did 323k, so Horizon did at least 646k excluding digital. The Gamesindustry article I used also worded it a bit strange saying Horizon did double what Killzone 2 did, but Horizon did more than double what Killzone 2 did.

So yeah, Horizon Zero Dawn > 646k (excluding digital).



HDZ should have a huge digital ratio. Maybe 30%.

Isn't it 1.4 million switch and WiiU combined.



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).

Zelda beat Horizon?
