What is going on in this thread? I thought the Horizon vs Zelda battles were over and we had moved on.
Naw fam, not until every Horizon copy is burned or traded in to never be bought again can I feel happy.

Are the dates recorded March 1st through March 31st?
This is so fucking hilarious if you know nothing about German lol
So if you go to the Olympics and win a silver medal you didn't actually compete?
Mario Kart was 3rd? How beastly will that game be?
Being in second place in a sales chart doesn't necessarily mean you're competitive with the number one release in the sense that that poster who made the comparison meant it. If #1 sold one million, and #2 sold 100k, then no, #2 is not "competitive." Now I'm sure the two titles are close as of right now, but I'm just pointing out the flaw in this analogy and in using this kind of chart, with no numbers, to make such a comparison.
Seeing as MK8D is still generally charting first in the hourly sales chart on amazon.com at the full RRP, I think you simply underestimated it.Yeah I was like...what? I dont know why that game is so high on Amazon well before it even releases but I edited in the link in the last post. Maybe I'm just underestimating how well it's going to do, or maybe Amazon had a price error at some point? I don't know.
It's such an achievement for a new IP to compete with a 20+ year franchise. Guerrilla deserves it for such an amazing game.
What a weird turn this thread is making.... Don't you guys realize that both Horizon and Zelda achieved something great here? Germany loves Ubisoftgame and for them to both beat Wildlands is just fantastic. Don't forget that Germany also still got a healthy PC retail market, which should have helped Wildlands even more.
I'm sure both Nintendo and Sony are absolutely thrilled by those results.

Yes, and we're talking basically about the only really good option for Switch owners, no competition at all. Good stuff, Guerrila.
Wrong I played bomberman at a buddy's house. All you ppl with switches what's wrong with you buy this gameYes, and we're talking basically about the only really good option for Switch owners, no competition at all. Good stuff, Guerrila.
You think any company, athlete or whatever looks around and doesn't think the people in second place are a competitor? It's the 'strive to gain or win' that defines the competitor, (and even more so if they are a close threat), not actually winning. A company that can put out something like Horizon in their first crack at a much-used genre and slide into second place behind Zelda is absolutely worth watching, and almost certainly what both Sony and Nintendo consider a valid competitor in capturing people's imagination with open-world adventuring.That's funny.
Google search: define compete
Compete: Strive to gain or win something by defeating or establishing superiority over others.
Hahahaha this is the funniest thing I've heard all day.
Zelda came first, horizon came second. I was pointing it out to the guy that was spinning it as though it was a great achievement that Horizon came second because he was comparing it to Zelda.
It's no big deal for me if horizon came first, that means it really did great especially against Zelda.
Search my post history if you like about me apparently being salty about horizon since I've never really talked about the game.
nier should be higher tbqh

Are we reading the same chart? I'm reading Horizon Zero Dawn came second, second. That doesn't sound like a great achievement.
Wouldn't have helped it in this chart though, PC gaming is almost exclusively digital. Digitalhysical split should be somewhere around 90/10 or so.What a weird turn this thread is making....

Being first wouldn't be a great achievement if there weren't stuff competition. There was, though, and Horizon still beat Ghost Recon and Andromeda, so that definitely is a great achievement.
Lol I wish triggered zelda fans would stop losing their minds when something positive is said about horizon.I wish Zelda and Horizon fans could just calm down and be happy for each other and agree that Wildlands sucks
One platform also has far, far more big games releasing at the same time with more on the way(Persona). Seriously both the games have been a big success. Why belittle one success?I don't see how it's spin when one has far, far more customers that are able to actually buy it.
You say that but...

I really want to see the charts when RDR2 comes out.GTA V what the hell
Das Zelda!
Dude did you read his comment? He stated it being a jackass. You can say stuff the same thing several times and have different meanings every time. The guy who originally pointed out Horizon doing well never mentioned Zelda being a failure.I like how it's not "ok" to belittle Horizon when that never happened. That person brought up Horizon and Zelda, but it's ok to crap on the Switch and say Zelda only sold well because it's the only game. Then I guess someone can point out the big PS4 install base...
Saying something in second place doesn't sound like an achievement is an opinion not a fact.Yeah, I don't really care.
I'm just laughing so hard because everyone got so sensitive from me pointing out a fact.
Yeah, I don't really care.

Remember when people said Zelda games don't sell anymore lol.
Especially impressive considering the tiny Switch install base. What is it in Germany like 20:1 in favour of PS4?
Read his posts again. He said unless you come out on top you are not really in a competition, because someone else won.
He wasn't talking about numbers or sales, his only reasoning was that Horizon was second in the chart, therefore, it failed when compared to Zelda.
He never mentioned Zelda? So what 20+ year franchise was he talking about? LolDude did you read his comment? He stated it being a jackass. You can say stuff the same thing several times and have different meanings every time. The guy who originally pointed out Horizon doing well never mentioned Zelda.
Well there is a difference between Zelda games, and almost unanimously the best Zelda game since Ocarina of Time or ever, and possibly one of the best games of all time.Remember when people said Zelda games don't sell anymore lol.
Edited to say not belittling Zelda. My God you guys are so defensive. LolHe never mentioned Zelda? So what 20+ year franchise was he talking about? Lol
It's such an achievement for a new IP to compete with a 20+ year franchise. Guerrilla deserves it for such an amazing game.
Does anyone have numbers for Skyward Sword?Well there is a difference between Zelda games, and almost unanimously the best Zelda game since Ocarina of Time or ever, and possibly one of the best games of all time.
Lol easy now, we've only seen talk about how Zelda fans gets pissed when there is talk about how great Horizon ZD is yet, we need to get to the other side of the argument too where Horizon fans gets pissed when there is talk about how great Zelda is tooWhat is going on in this thread? I thought the Horizon vs Zelda battles were over and we had moved on.
It's no big deal. I'm just saying I've seen his/her post history and how he/she acts in the BotW topics compared to the Horizon topics. And I can understand someone seeing his/her comment as a slight to BotW. That's all I'm saying. LolEdited to say not belittling Zelda. My God you guys are so defensive. Lol
Yeah, we can use amazon.de for a rough ballpark, and HZD outsold Zelda Switch on there, so it stands to reason that the two are reasonably close together. Great results for both, as they both outsold ME:A and GR:W.
Seeing as MK8D is still generally charting first in the hourly sales chart on amazon.com at the full RRP, I think you simply underestimated it.
Edit: Here's a link for the German hourly chart: https://www.amazon.de/gp/bestsellers/videogames
The same thing can be seen in practically all other amazon charts (except Japan, Italy and UK) and everywhere it is close to the top, so it definitely seems to be a beast.
