Sony's Horizon Zero Dawn has beaten off competition from Nintendo Switch launch title The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild to top the UK physical sales chart for the week ending March 4.*

The latest Zelda title--which also launched on Wii U--is the second-best-selling title of the week, according to sales monitor Chart-Track. Nearly 80 percent of the game's sales came on Nintendo's newly launched Switch device.

Grand Theft Auto V refuses to disappear from the charts at No.3, while another Switch launch title, 1-2-Switch, debuts at No.4. In a strong week for new releases, Ubisoft's medieval brawler For Honor drops to No.5 after holding top spot for both the previous weeks. FIFA 17 is close behind at No.6 and another Switch exclusive, Super Bomberman R, opens at No.7.

I guess you can call this, a new Dawn.

[KZXcellent]

That title is gonna make people explode.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

That GTA V though.

 

[AKC12]

I'd expect nothing less from the UK

too late

 

[Elitist1945]

I mean, its a game on a console with 50 million+ owners vs. a console that just came out. Kind of expected. But nice to see two nice games at the top of the charts.

 

[Jiguryo]

Breaking news: a system with an established base sells more of an expected game than a recently released console! In other news, ice is wet.

 

[Dice//]

GTA is sorta the real surprise here, wow... did not know it was still such a strong seller

 

[Mikey Jr.]

Ohh come on.

Secondly, this is pretty old.

 

[Fireblend]

Can't decide if GTA V or 1-2 Switch is the biggest surprise.

 

[Platy]

SHOCKING that a game with huge instalbase won from one which is in the wiiu and a newly released console.

Also on europe, that people hate everything from nintendo not named Kirby

 

[commish]

is it because of weapon durability?

Now Bronx, if you really believed your spoiler, we wouldn't have this thread title.

Maybe you shouldn't have made such a shitty thread title.

You serious with this disclaimer?

Spoilered too.

TRIGGERED !!

 

[100%TrophyMaster]

Lol that thread title

 

[Dark Ninja]

For Honor loses Honor in 1-2

 

[Johndoey]

Not like this Bronx.

But seriously GTA V is goddamn crazy. I mean shit son, there's legs then there's LEGS.

 

[Zedox]

GTAV is the real winner here. It has to be the highest selling game of all fucking time. ALL FUCKING TIME! Like WTF, Rockstar just pissing streams of wealth every month.

Horizon outselling makes sense. I would be worried if it didn't, honestly.

 

[Plum]

Horizon beating Zelda is not a surprise at all and I couldn't really care less.

I am starting to think that people are just buying second and third copies of GTAV for the sake of it now. That game's legs are absolutely ridiculous.

 

[I-hate-u]

That's what I was saying back in January. Zelda is not the sales behemoth people it is, it's definitely so much beneath Mario in that regard.

 

[Mory Dunz]

 

[Phediuk]

Deserved. The game is awesome, full stop.

 

[CrisKre]

Zelda is still the better game IMO. With a +40 milli install base this was always going to happen.

That thread title though..

 

[Salty Hippo]

4 days vs. 2 days on the market.

X million units vs. 80k units.

Geez I wonder how this happened.

 

[bobbychalkers]

The real thread title should be....how is GTAV still in the top 10?

 

[PAULINK]

shots have been fired

 

[sjay1994]

This thread title

 

[nubbe]

Sony has millions more PS4 on the market
BotW must have better attach rate!

 

[NSESN]

There are 2 threads already

 

[dragonfart28]

'Breath of the Bomba'

 

[MemoryHumanity]

Install base how does it work

 

[Fourth Storm]

I forgive you for the thread title OP. It was too good to resist.

As for the news, great for Horizon. I suspect this has everything to do with Switch stock supply and PS4's huge install base, but even if it didn't, Horizon looks fantastic. I'll definitely be picking that up at some point later this year, if not immediately after I finish Zelda.

 

[MatthewB92]

This is gonna be fun to watch on both sides lol

 

[Bronx-Man]

See? This was a win all along.

 

[Erv]

How are thread titles like this allowed without a ban?

 

[BeforeU]

Meh

GTA V is the real winner though

 

[fluffydelusions]

OP with that bait

 

[Cbajd5]

why is no one talking about bomberman

TALK ABOUT BOMBERMAN

 

[serenewarfare]

I mean yeah, the most Zelda could have possibly sold (both Switch and Wii U) was less than half of the install base of the PS4 in the U.K.

 

[_Clash_]

in b4 lock

 

[Kinsei]

I'm surprised to see Bomberman up there. Hopefully Konami takes notice and we get a new high budget Bomberman game. (I like R but it could have been a lot better).

The real thread title should be....how is GTAV still in the top 10?

Yeah, you'd think everyone that wants it would have bought it by now.

 

[Dash_Riprock]

OP, what have you done?

 

[HardRojo]

That disclaimer doesn't excuse you from a shitty title lol, you know why you did this. Freaking GTA though, how many people have a copy of it by now?

 

[Quixz]

COD doing rather poorly for COD.

 

[Rozart]

/bites fingernails

 

[NOLA_Gaffer]

You mean to tell me a game sold better to a 50+ million customer base than a <1 million customer base?

SHOCKING NEWS indeed.

 

[Belakor]

It's normal when there are 10x PS4 in the market.
