>NEOGAF LINK FOR THE HANDICAP

NO STOP THIS NEWS ISN'T ALLOWED ON SONYGAF

Horizon is shit and sold like shit

I can guaranfuckingtee you that breath of the wild has worse graphics than horizon 3 or even motorsport 5.

was wildlands really that popular? Just who is buying this shit?

Those are Zelda physical sales, right?

I wonder how much higher, if at all, would be that number if you add digital sales.

>Wildlands outsells both
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

Horizon shills on suicide watch

The number is gonna keep growing. Next month, we'll probably see the same exact numbers or more.

Zelda will have 5 mil by the end of April.
10 mil by June.

When did consumers start to care about sales?

GTA V still up there

yes. NPD only does physical last I saw

they don't, but gaming enthusiasts always have. Gotta find ammo for the console wars etc

>Physical only
>US only
Meaningless.
>Pic related: digital sales

>Zelda outsold horizon in USA,
Japan,France,and Spain

horizon died fucking quick

>nintendo switch drives sales
Actually Ubisoft drove the sales.
Wtf is it with this nintendo bias in the media?

Oh yeah??

Well when you win you lose, checkmate Nazi!

AAA cashgrab movie by sony
vs
Original work of art by Nintendo, a company that loves gaming.

NO shit horizon lost.

I don't even know why anyone compared these two games.
I kinda thought BotW would be a lot worse because everyone kept comparing it to Horizon.

Wow, a series that has been going on for 30 years and has gathered a huge fanbase over that very long period of time sold better than a new IP.

What a shocker.

Well, on another point of view, there are 50 million PS4. While there are 14 Million Wii U and 2.4 Million Switch.

Horizon Zero Dawn was the video game version of Ghostbusers for sony.

>Zelda confirmed sales: 1.8 million
>Horizon confirmed sales: 2.6 million

Hmmmmmm it would seem there is a bunch of bias circulating.

There is a reason why nintendo aren't making these numbers official.

Is it opposite day?

But switch has no other games. PS4 has waaaay too many other games.

>zelda atach rate 120% percent
>4 million Switch's sold worldwide

hmm it seems sonygros can't accept the truth.

The shills did, they tried to get reflective sales from a good game thinking Sony players would be sad at being unable to play it.

Horizon outsold Zelda.

And Zelda's on two dead systems where it's the only game released in months.

>>Zelda confirmed sales: 1.8 million
>confirmed
not till investors meeting goy and that is only up to March 31

also, horizon already reached its peak and like 99% of teh industry games will stop there. Nintendo games on ther other hand keep selling for years

>I-IT undersold cause people wanted to buy something else!!!!
>I-It sold well cause people were magically forced to buy that 1 game!!!

are you implying people has not free will?? if you excuse is that there were more games. that makes it worst, it mean people didnt deem the game worthy enough to be purchased

like fifa and COD. The only games that sell more than 10 mil on ps4/

I would believe Zelda boosts Switch sales not the other way around, because otherwise you are buying a console for 1-2 Switch.

>4 million switch sold world wide
1 week ago they reported it has reached 2.4 million

I am going to need some citation on that son. Regardless Horizon sold that much weeks ago.

NPD numbers literally doesn't mean anything in the big picture.

>Only 3 new games

They really have nothing don't they?

>digital sales
Meaningless.

to be fair... march had tons of great releases for the ps4.
Meanwhile switch only had Zelda....

So of course 100% of your switch playbase will buy Zelda while the ps4 playerbase will be divided between horizon, yakuza 0, gravity rush 2 and ect.

>Switch has less than 3mil consoles out there
>PS4 has 60mil+

Really makes you think

tbf I have no idea how the anti-nintendo dudes on this site thought that one of the most popular game series ever in its most hyped iteration was going to be outdone by some SJW's new IP

like I understand that more people play PS4, but hey they play it for Madden and NBA shit not for Lena Dunham's ubisoft adventure game

I'd like to buy a Switch, but I own a WiiU, and the only thing they'll have that isn't rehash won't be out til maybe Christmas.

It's simple.
Sony listed shipped numbers.

They've done it before.

The fact is Zelda demolished it

>not getting Splatoon 2
>own a Wii U
Nah, not a believable statement

> horizon, yakuza 0, gravity rush 2
Don't lump in Horizon with actually good games you cunt.

NPD are real sales albeit physical copies, you are posting shipped copies.

In the top 10.

Switch has even less.

No they actually earn more from digital sales.
PS4 also has more than 1 game.
Really makes you think.
>Sony listed shipped numbers
No they listed sold through. I think it is time for you to reread what it said.
Nope not shipped. Sony announced it was sold through.
NPD's numbers are almost irrelevant when it comes to making a claim about the whole picture.

First of all it is only the US and second of all it is only physical copies when we know digital makes the majority in the US.
