Something I think that should be worth noting:
As of the end of last year, the total shipped+digital units for Breath of the Wild in Japan is a whopping 3.51 million (this includes the Wii U version during the last quarter of FY '17 when the Switch launched).
For a series whose best selling game in Japan, prior to the Switch, was at just around 1.7 million, that is MIND-BLOWING!
I searched for the best selling Final Fantasy games over there, and it appears the only two games in that series ahead of Breath of the Wild are VII (4.22) and VIII (3.7).

Though, I don't know how valid those numbers are.

But even so, the fact that a Zelda game is able to reach those levels and actually give the PS1 Final Fantasy games a run for their money - That thought would have been straight up laughable pre-Switch launch. Yet, here we are and it's a reality. And every sign and indication is that Tears of the Kingdom will do monstrous numbers as well. Absolutely incredible!

I wasn't trying to suggest that the Famitsu Poll ranking would reflect sales accurately. TOTK will certainly outsell FFXVI. But COMG seems to heavily underrepresent ps5 titles at the moment. FFXVI has 39 points at the same time where FFXV had 250 points which would suggest a massive decrease in interest in FF in Japan and I don't believe that is the case. FFXVI will certainly sell less than FFXV imo but I believe COMG points are greatly exaggerating the situation.

RE4 had 59 points on PS5 and 98 points on PS4 but sold better on PS5 FW. If we look at Atelier Ryza that sold 1,479 units per point on PS5 compared to 864 units per point on Switch. Hogwarts Legacy on PS5 was also massively underrepresented on COMG selling a huge 3,537 units per point FW. When just looking at the last few games already finds a range of 800 per point to 3600 per point it's hard to see how COMG points can really be used as even a rough suggestion of sales potential.
