Not like BotW. Its tail is really only comparable to Mario.What? Lots of SP games have long tails in selling. Nintendo first party especially.
OP either doesn't know what he/she is talking about or is trying to over glorify BoTW.
Seems that you play Nintendo games only.BotW is such an outstanding game, there is no competition for it on any console.
Idk about that. The Witcher 3 is still one of the top sellers on Steam in 2018(gold-tier seller) and charted on the PS store last month. Hard to say what number it's at exactly since CDPR has been giving total franchise figures rather than the numbers for individual games, but it's likely above or at least nearing 20 million at this point. Hard to compare though because it's strongest legs are on PC while Zelda's sales are more easily trackable on the charts.
I got a question, why does every thread Doc Seuss post in end up becoming about him rather than the topic on hand?
The Switch doesn't have much going for it at all in terms of third party AAA and Zelda is a well known IP with BOTW being one of the highest reviewed games ever.
That's hardly a thing specific to Nintendo fans. Those three games you mentioned also receive similar praise from plenty in this forum, as well just about every other highly praised game ever released. Nothing really childish about praising what you like nor is that really fanboy rhetoric, unless you dislike other people liking something more than you, for whatever reason
"What else is appealing on the Switch, besides all of these other appealing games on the Switch?"
I'd be inclined to say that a greater proportion of Nintendo owners buy the consoles for first party than that of Playstation. Could be wrong but being one of those people, and knowing a few, it seems true to me.True. But why is Horizon and God of War no longer charting if that's the rule?
As I said. There's something special happening with Breath of the Wild that other games are not able to replicate.
It's zelda. People are always gonna be inclined to purchase it. It's zelda.
Same with something like uncharted on ps4. It doesn't matter that it's several years old. It's uncharted.. It's why you bought a PS4
I think part of the reason is people also don't expect another 3D Zelda for a while. If 3D Zelda was a annual IP or came out even every 2 years I would wait for the sequel and it wouldn't feel special.
when really it's the only game worth buying on the switch that has some semblance of quality instead of rehashes of the same games gen after gen
What does that have to do with anything? Honestly, what does it have to do with the thread or anything about it? What did it add to the conversation, save for wanting to knock the game down because it bothers you that others adore it? What does it even mean? Like I can't even comprehend what that's supposed to mean
No, they're dogpiling on you because you're argument doesn't have anything worthwhile backing it up nor was it an argument made with honest intentions. Notice how other people who pointed out a lack of competition weren't dogpiled, like you were. Accept it and own up to it. You're not a child being bullied by everyone else
No.
You probably think that because much data is not known. A well reviewed and known SP game will continue to sell.
GTA
RDR
TLoU
UC4
HZD
Mario
Witcher 3
God of War
Crash Bandicoot
Dark Souls
FF7
etc
The idea of legs is a percentage, so in that sense many SP games continue to sell. Zelda BoTW of course has exceptional legs due to being Zelda, critically loved, and on a platform with low competition.
it's at around 1.2M iirc which is extremely good for Japan. But most of the sales are from western countriesWhat's the sales number for Zelda in Japan compared to the rest of the world?
That's interesting, my assumption was that Nintendo catered more to the Japanese market while Sony focus more on their western audience.it's at around 1.2M iirc which is extremely good for Japan. But most of the sales are from western countries
Reminder that he wrote this:
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild shouldn't be this good
Zelda historically doesn't match up as well with Nintendo's other IPs in Japan. BotW is actually been a bit of an exception, though it still is still a bit lower in Japanese sales relative to other titles than it is in the rest of the world.That's interesting, my assumption was that Nintendo catered more to the Japanese market while Sony focus more on their western audience.
