You can´t use raw numbers for comparison when the base population is of different sizes, it´s basic math. The OP is using raw numbers and establishing a comparison, that´s why it´s misleading. I thought the info was misleading and when someone posted the averages it looks like I'm right.
But anyway, the whole premise of the OT is that "GoW has more recognition than BotW", which strikes me. I haven´t played GoW, I have no doubt that it´s an excellent game, but I haven´t seen it cause half as much repercurssion between players and crtiics as BotW. I think that in the last years there are a handful of games that regularly come up as GOAT contenders (Witcher 3, TLoU, BotW and even Bloodborne) and haven´t seen anyone postulate GoW as part of that group and much less with the general consesus these other games have behind them. So those are my reasons to be surprised when the OP presented the information in a way that seemed to say that GoW got more recognition than BotW; it´s the absolute opposite of what I´ve seen.
