So you domt want to post all those exclusive sales now?
What ever everyone elses arguments were is irrelevant to what I said. Based on the games reception, marketing and mass appeal (openn world rpg) I was expecting over 100k. I said looking at past launches for Nintendo software it wasn't a hard prediction. I stand by that.
I dunno whether it just personally bothers you or w/e but yes install base matters. Unless you expected Switch to be the best launch in Nintendo UK history you probably were not going to expect >=100k for Zelda.
So your argument is "well your prediction wasnt everyone elses prediction so shut up"?
I was just looking up the data:
Uncharted 4: 192k
No Man's Sky (not a Sony IP but I'll include it): ~115k
Infamous: Second Son: ~70k
TLG: >23k
Bloodborne: ~43k
Ratchet & Clank: 38k
Order 1886: 39k
Nathan Drake Collection: 39k
Yes, install base matters but not so much for the launch comparison of Zelda vs. Horizon. Zelda is expected to be a near 1.0 attach ratio for the Switch so it's bound to sell near or close to the number of Switch's shipped/sold. That means comparatively, the bar that Horizon has to outsell Zelda gets higher depending on how much Switch was shipped (we know now it was about 80k).
It's by no means a stretch of the imagination to think that Zelda (Switch + Wii U) would outsell Horizon. As to your last line, no, it's not. You yourself said, "were people expecting less than 100k for Horizon?"
