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

Isn't it 1.4 million switch and WiiU combined.

This is what we know: Zelda sold 1.385 million overall (Switch + Wii U + digital), 925k from Switch and 460k from Wii U (Nintendo reported this last week). NPD says it sold 900k physically in March, but didn't specify if it was on Switch alone, which it could be.

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.

Zelda beat Horizon?

Zelda did 1.38m and Horizon 646k but that does include digital so its going to be higher but i dont think it will be that close ot Zelda. But Horizon did really good for a new IP.

I miss getting PS4 & XBO hardware numbers.

RIP Aqua

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).
