Blood_Tears said: Congrats to Zelda on selling well but it's a bit misleading as the thread is only about physical copies sold on vgchartz. It's not 2008 anymore and Horizon's high digital attach rate still puts it on top. I know others will just lump the Wii U and Switch versions together to get the higher total but platform specific, Zelda Switch has not actually outsold Horizon....yet that is. It is evitable but still premature. Unless Sony goes with a Horizon Christmas/BF bundle like UC4 did last year. Then it will get interesting. |
This was already mentioned time and time again. Horizon sold 3.4 million including digital by April 30th. Breath of the Wild sold 2.76 million by *March 31st* on *Switch alone*. Including Wii U, it sold 3.84 million copies by *March 31st*.
That means that in 61 days Horizon sold 3.4 million copies including digital , giving Horizon an average of 55,737.70 sales per day(it's just an average though, not literal).
The *Switch* version of Breath of the Wild sold 2.76 million copies in 28 days, giving it an average of 98,571 sales per day.
That's almost double the sales, of course averages aren't a perfect measurement because as a game is on the market longer it's average usually gets smaller, but it means that Breath of the Wild sold incredibly fast in less than a month. It's July 14th right now, there's literally almost no way it hasn't passed Horizon on just Switch.
No matter how much you want to ignore the Wii U version, it's practically fact that Breath of the Wild outsold Horizon on just the Switch by this point. This is because the attach rate for Breath of the Wild is much greater, and the glory period for Horizon is over.
