A bumper week for gaming is led by ‘Horizon Zero Dawn’ which tops the chart as Sony’s biggest ever PS4 launch of a new IP (ahead of No Man’s Sky).

Released on Wednesday ‘Horizon Zero Dawn’ is also the biggest launch of the year so far and Sony’s biggest launch since ‘Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End’. Ubisoft’s ‘For Honor’ (-45%) falls from No1 to No5, having to make way for both Horizon Zero Dawn and new Nintendo Switch titles. Released on Friday, Nintendo Switch brings with it ‘The Legend of Zelda: The Breath of the Wild’, which debuts at No2 for both Switch and Wii U. 78% of sales were for the Switch version with 22% for Wii U. The Switch version becomes the 3rd biggest ever launch of a Zelda title, behind ‘Wind Waker’ on Gamecube and ‘Twilight Princess’ on Wii. There were 5 new Switch games at launch, 3 of which enter the Top 10 including ‘1-2 Switch’ new at No4 and Konami’s ‘Super Bomberman R’ debuting at No7. The Switch version of ‘Just Dance 2017’ helps Ubisoft’s game re-enter the Top 40 at No24 (+68%), while the Switch version of ‘Skylanders Imaginators’ fails to lift the title back in to the chart. The only other new game to make the Top 40 this week is Telltale’s ‘The Walking Dead: The New Frontier’ which begins life at No19.

[Raylan]

Horizon is gonna be the biggest flop of 2017, they put a embargo on reviews because everyone knows the gameplay is super repetitive. I mean, guerrilla games can not make a good game to save there lives recently.

Key Points

. Gameplay is boring and repetitive, dodge and kill mech, do that for 7 hours.

. Great Graphics to cover up the fact from above

. Story is probably the weakest that GG has ever put out

. Will be in the bargain bin in probably three months

I think Horizon will be sent to die.
Zelda is a bigger franchise and Sony knows that, maybe a reason they're willing to take a hit on a console so people buy Horizon too

Horizon looks great and will sell well but if you think it will outsell Zelda, you are crazy.

Sony must be SHOOK

Horizon will be overshadowed by Zelda x switch tbh

There's no way Horizon outsells Zelda. Like, both are going to do very well, and Horizon has been wonderfully marketed, but even though the PS4 install base is massive, this game won't necessarily appeal to everyone that owns the console.

Meanwhile, practically everyone that gets a Switch will be getting Zelda, and a reasonable proportion of Wii U owners will get it, too.

Ill be shocked if zelda doesn't win next week.
Fucking knack sold millions just because it was a launch title

Just another case of Sony being reactive to Nintendo that people will just handwave as something they were going to do anyways.

As a matter of fact, I feel a little bad for Horizon now.

As for HZD, don't be. It will do just fine. I just hope no one is expecting BotW numbers for it.

Predict the Flops of 2017

Is Horizon Zero Dawn going to be the next big gaming disappointment?

 

[Hammer24]

As expected, the higher userbase carries Horizon.

 

[bombshell]

Come on now Raylan, that's unfair!

Spoiler

lol

 

[Guymelef]

Damn, you were ready lol.

 

[Dark Cloud]

Pretty much nothing unexpected. Horizon is a great game and it's on a vastly bigger userbase.

 

[Toki767]

Bet that first reply had this post ready for days lol

 

[black070]

The biggest entirely new Sony IP to launch at number 1 this gen.

Boom.

 

[Carl]

Is launching below WW and TP good? not sure what they sold

Also rather surprised by 22% on wiiu to be honest

 

[TheMoon]

Someone had this saved up...

 

[Hammer24]

Selling between NMS and UC4 should give a good approximation.

 

[Rymuth]

PS4 is a beast, lol. Congrats Sony and Guerrilla!

 

[Shantom]

The biggest entirely new IP to launch at number 1 this gen.

Boom.

It's not though. Destiny sold far more.

 

[vivekTO]

Congrats Guerrilla, Absolutely deserved!! and That too for a new IP from a Major Developer, I hope Other Publishers and studio will take some notes from them.

 

[Radec]

We're off to a good start on this thread. lol

Spoiler

pls dont

 

[jonno394]

Great for both titles. Amazing that two games of such high quality can be released in the same week!

Wonder how much those extra days on sale helped with Horizon?

 

[Dragon1893]

Not surprising at all. Huge install base + massive marketing push, not to mention that the game looks absolutely incredible.

 

[cw_sasuke]

Horizon and Zelda dominating... Good week for gamers.

 

[tzare]

As expected, the higher userbase carries Horizon.

if that was the case wouldn't the wiiU version be ahead of the switch one ?

 

[Jarod McChicken]

How much did No Man's Sky already ? Was it 105K or 115K ? We know at least Horizon is above that.

 

[KingSnake]

Good performance by both Horizon and Zelda BotW.

Zelda being 75% of the total Switch software really shows how this launch is a one game show, but it was expected.

Lower launch than TP was pretty obvious, how much did WW sold at launch because this seems to me more interesting.

 

[Conduit]

So Horizon is over Zelda even in combined format?

Yuuuuuup!

Congrats to both! What a great week for PS4 and Switch.

Instead, it’s Sony’s PS4 exclusive Horizon Zero Dawn that grabs the crown, beating Nintendo’s adventure title by a comfortable margin

Really curious about this.

 

[madmackem]

Beating botw wow many need a serving of crow today. Well done gg/Sony.

 

[Mario007]

Is launching below WW and TP good? not sure what they sold

Also rather surprised by 22% on wiiu to be honest

Considering TP launched in a similar manner (ie cross gen) i would say it's not great.

 

[sems4arsenal]

Need numbers

 

[FinalStageBoss]

Not surprised tbh, Horizon is amazing.

 

[Pancakes R Us]

Hahahaha what a hit, son. Take a bow.

You were ready and waiting with this. Cold, calm and calculated.

 

[chadskin]

Well, there it is.

 

[PackAPunchedMick]

 

[Hammer24]

if that was the case wouldn't the wiiU version be ahead of the switch one ?

The WiiU installed base in the UK was bad to begin with, and it's now a dead system for a while. Not really comparable.

 

[jonno394]

Good performance by both Horizon and Zelda BotW.

Zelda being 75% of the total Switch software really shows how this launch is a one game show, but it was expected.

Lower launch than TP was pretty obvious, how much did WW sold at launch because this seems to me more interesting.

Where are you getting that it was 75% of total switch software sales?

 

[LordKano]

if that was the case wouldn't the wiiU version be ahead of the switch one ?

People need to buy a game with their Switch.
Also, almost no one owns a Wii U in the UK.

 

[Moskalova]

Where are you getting that it was 75% of total switch software sales?

Breath of the Wild accounted for 75 per cent of all total Switch software sales for the week

http://www.mcvuk.com/news/read/horizon-zero-dawn-beats-zelda-to-no-1/0179703

 

[Peru]

Does the Zelda figures account for digital sales, in terms of comparing it to the franchise's earlier numbers (ranking third) ?

 

[black070]

It's not though. Destiny sold far more.

Corrected.

 

[Infinite_Daremo]

lol dat first post

 

[KingSnake]

Where are you getting that it was 75% of total switch software sales?

It was quoted in the previous thread from here.

 

[Ricky 7]

Third biggest Zelda? That doesn't sound good.

 

[Guymelef]

Considering TP launched in a similar manner (ie cross gen) i would say it's not great.

iirc Twilight Princess on NGC was launched a week after Wii version, don't know if Chart-Track is considering that.
They only talk about Wii version.

behind ‘Wind Waker’ on Gamecube and ‘Twilight Princess’ on Wii.

 

[Psycho_Mantis]

 

[Hammer24]

Bruno, you got the launch numbers for NMS and UC4 handy?

 

[Shantom]

Considering TP launched in a similar manner (ie cross gen) i would say it's not great.

The Gamecube version of TP was delayed so I believe they're not counting it in TP's launch sales, so this would be TP Wii compared to BotW Switch+Wii U
Edit: Beaten.

 

[Mpl90]

Does the Zelda figures account for digital sales, in terms of comparing it to the franchise's earlier numbers (ranking third) ?

Usually GFK charts / news strictly talk about retail sales, so no, I don't think digital is included for any of the aforementioned titles.

 

[DecoReturns]

Considering TP launched in a similar manner (ie cross gen) i would say it's not great.

small difference is that TP launched first for the Wii first then more then a week later it came out for Gamecube.

Here, both were same day release. Don't know if that means much, still what a start to the year with these great games

 

[Chaos2Frozen]

Raylan's a dead shot as always XD

Edit:

Damn, He got banned in between me trying to come up with a catchy one line post

 

[LordKano]

Throwback to Wii launch :

Wii software has performed equally well with more than 500,000 copies of The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess sold in December, meaning that over 70% of Wii owners purchased this game.

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=138133

 

[KooopaKid]

That Top 5 looks good for a change in the UK.
BotW behind WW and Twilight Princess is quite normal given the install base of GC (and Wii's Holiday release).
It will continue selling during all Switch's lifespan.

 

[madmackem]

Does the Zelda figures account for digital sales, in terms of comparing it to the franchise's earlier numbers (ranking third) ?

I don't think any of the games in the list count digital?.

 

[Majora]

Considering TP launched in a similar manner (ie cross gen) i would say it's not great.

I think people forget how much the Wii U bombed in the UK. Even the GameCube was a much bigger success here. Plus there's no way Switch launch was bigger than Wii launch. The Wii launch was an absolute phenomenon.

GameCube + Wii launch userbase is going to be way higher than Wii U + Switch launch userbase.

 

[Mario007]

small difference is that TP launched first for the Wii first then more then a week later it came out for Gamecube.

Here, both were same day release. Don't know if that means much, still what a start to the year with these great games

Considering the 75% attach rate for switch i doubt it means a lot.
