So far BOTW has over 60 weeks of sales on GOW. I'm really curious who comes out on top when the sales settle down for both. Impressive numbers for BOTH titles. Best selling and groundbreaking games for both in their franchise.

I think this game is a dead certainty to outsell OOT 64 version which sold 7.6m. Zelda games and the big nintendo IP's generally have great longevity so i think 9 million and beyond is a given, it's going to do 5 million in it's first year without a problem and then have another 4 years before the next 3d zelda game.

No way could digital account for that. This has consistently been one of the lower performing games on the Eshop, probably because it's big. It's usually between 8-12. This has to be just very undertracked at least by a few 100k

Nuvendil posted 17/08/2017, 11:38
Well the issue will be legs and bundles. Sony, somewhat to my dismay, has not made Horizon a major bundle. We will see if Nintendo makes Zelda a major bundle in the future. As for legs, so far Zelda's attach rate is pretty bonkers and every boost in hardware sales pushes its numbers up. I think Zelda will win, not much chance for Horizon there, but how much of a victory will depend on Sony and Nintendo's actions going forward.

StreaK posted 16/08/2017, 01:48
Guys, I'm just pumped that something like Horizon is standing neck to neck with something as HUGE as Zelda. And when I mean HUGE I mean a series that has been around for so long and isn't slowing down but even growing stronger. Man, I happened to buy a N64 just for OoT and that is the only game that was worthwhile for me on that system.
But yeah, I agree with you guys too. Both games are doing great and that's terrific. But I just have to root for Horizon because it's the underdog and Zelda has LEGIONS of fans that are for it. I don't think BotW will end up selling that much more in the end since both games are in the 5 million sales range.

@AngryLittleAlchemist

He was already here a few months ago trying to say that Horizon "destroyed" Zelda somehow, which was obviously never true. He's just trying to see what he wants to see instead of what's actually there. And yeah it's real dumb how for some people instead of being glad that both games did great financially and critically instead they must try to argue about it.

AngryLittleAlchemist posted 13/07/2017, 06:26
StreaK, just give up man. It's like what they say about video game difficulty. The floor for Horizon is very good, but it's ceiling is very low. The floor for BOTW is very high, and so is it's ceiling. It's potential sales could be 11+ million. I don't think anyone could say that for Horizon. But this whole comparison is stupid. We should just be happy that two amazing, experimental games were able to please such large audiences. Horizon is not a game to scoff at.
