That attachment rate doesn't mean a thing if they didn't ship enough Switches to sell in the first place.

Not in the uk, there's walk in store stuck everywhere in my city, even Amazon had prime now two hour delv on both switchs on launch day.

 

[Napalm_Frank]

Just a prelude for Knack vs Mario round 2

 

[Radec]

How so? Nearly every switch sold will be with a copy of Zelda as there's very little else out for it, attach rate will be insane.

Sure attach rate is expected to be insane for zelda/switch. But it won't matter really if the switch sales aren't great.

 

[GlamFM]

So deserved! Congrats GG.

 

[thekiddfran]

Only 50 mil?

I guess outsourcing everything really saved a lot of money heh

[CouchMaster]

Well deserved.

That biggest flop of 2017 thread continues to deliver.

 

[bigol]

Congratulations to GG launching a new IP and being successfull.

 

[Diancecht]

People are still buying Grand Theft Auto V I guess.

 

[Acquiescence]

Looks like it

That's pretty crazy when you consider that Resident Evil is Capcom's biggest franchise (unless I'm forgetting something).

Score one for new intellectual properties.

 

[Majora]

How many Switches were sold in 3 days? We already know Horizon sold over 110,000 copies.

Breath of the Wild is naturally constrained by how many Switches were sold in the first weekend. There's the Wii U but that was never alive in the UK to begin with.

 

[Floody]

No, it's for first party games.

Ah, okay, makes much more sense then, would've been unbelievable if it topped Destiny. Thanks!

 

[A Serious Man]

Well earned, the game is legit great.

 

[jorma]

Well deserved, it's a really good open world game.

And holy shit, the graphics.

 

[Gradly]

Congratulations. I'm glad it's succssiful

 

[krumble]

If I didn't pick up switch and Zelda this week I would have 100% picked up Horizon
As it is I'll pick it up later when there is a price drop now

 

[Robiin]

DriveClub
The Order: 1886
Bloodborne
Until Dawn

Off the top of my head.

Yeah, not necessarily "heavy hitters" to be honest. Bloodborne got hyped to hell, but it's still not a "mainstream" cinematic game. DriveClub got hit hard by the negative word-of-mouth. The Order was not marketed to hell and back, and also didn't receive positive reviews. Until Dawn was more of a slow burn.

So in all honesty, Horizon outselling them all at launch seemed like a given, especially when reviews have been as good as they have. Still great to see though.

Ever? Plenty.

Sorry, no not ever. I implied in this generation because that's what the thread is about.

Impressive. 100 Chinese workers put in hella work for that money.

 

[Muffin1611]

Well deserved. Fantastic game.

Yeah, that's true, but it was not a given that it would outsell Zelda or even Resident Evil 7 combined formats.

 

[Darksol]

It deserves all the success it's getting.

 

[Rymuth]

Megaman

Don't worry, though, Capcom did, as well.

 

[arcticice]

Deserved

 

[Chaos2Frozen]

well earned

best sony exclusive new IP since the last of us( BloodBorne is NOT a new IP)

in the sequel i hope they turn it into a real RPG or remove the dead useless dialogue system

Should have named it Bloodborne 2 then.

Oh wait, it is a new IP

 

[Tajbong]

Been playing it the whole weekend - pure AAA blockbuster.
Glad to see a new IP doing so well in sales. Hopefully that will spur more came companies to try something new.

 

[Psycho_Mantis]

Congrats Guerrilla Games.

Wow that art is awesome

 

[Jimmyfenix]

Switch sold 80k in the UK if people are wondering

 

[Radec]

How does it compare to Witcher 3's first weekend?

 

[noshten]

Fantastic opening for Horizon, so far it's been a fantastic year in terms of software on the PS4. I don't really remember a stronger month in terms of new games on the system.

 

[Donthizz#]

GG GG

 

[Bishop89]

Hell yeah!

Well deserved GG.

 

[black070]

Well deserved, the game is amazing.

 

[oti]

It.....Outsold.....Zelda :0

It''s Knack all over again!

Spoiler

But this time the game is actually good.

 

[Triggerhappytel]

I'm legit shook! I tell 'ya!

Idiots. It was never going to be a flop. They let a rushed launch game cloud their logic.

well earned

I mean sure; if you fundamentally misunderstand what a new IP is.

It probably sold great, but how many new big budget IPs have Sony launched though? Genuine question.

Knack. Man, it beat Knack! Sony must be crazy happy with that.

Facts say otherwise.

Anyway, congrats Guerrilla. Horizon's a pretty incredible game.

 

[Big Green Anus]

Well deserved! I'm honestly surprised how much fun I'm having with the game since I'm not the biggest fan of Guerilla Games. My copy of Zelda comes today, but I'm but not sure how to balance both

 

[tzare]

games deserves it.
And really happy for GG, hope gamers respect them more from now on

every copy was sold out in my local super markets

don't try and derail the thread with this rubbish

 

[Apenheul]

Congratulations Guerilla Games!

 

[Wollan]

It's the best PS4 exclusive so far. Absolutely deserved.

 

[silva1991]

GOTY and well deserved.

 

[OléGunner]

Lovely result!
Always good to see new IP prosper especially when it's well deserved.

Congrats to GG on putting out one of this gens best games so far.

 

[jiggle]

It's the best PS4 exclusive so far. Absolutely deserved.

Oh no you did knack just say that

 

[Mokubba]

Well Deserved.

 

[EVO]

Nice, I imagine word of mouth will be very kind to this game too.

Sorry, no not ever. I implied in this generation because that's what the thread is about.

Also NMS which did 115000 first week.

 

[ddikxela]

So is this the biggest launch of a new ip on the ps4 in the UK or....... the biggest launch of a new Sony ip on the PS4 in the UK??

The way it is worded makes me think the former but reading alot of comments here makes me think I've interpreted it wrong???

 

[GlamFM]

It´s also sold out at Amazon de, uk & US.

(Only ones I´ve checked)

 

[Triggerhappytel]

I wonder what Sony's biggest new IP launches ever are. The Last of Us, Gran Turismo, maybe LittleBigPlanet? I doubt God of War or Uncharted had particularly big launches.

 

[Roufianos]

well earned

Do you even know what IP means? What a strange claim.

Anyway happy for Horizon. I had my doubts about the game but a few hours in I'm very impressed.

 

[spekkeh]

Cool. I hope publishers take note that you don't need a crew cut military dude to sell a new IP.
