Especially considering platform availability. I think it says more about ToTK being 3rd on a single platform vs the other two being available on multiple platforms.
I mean, Mario Kart 8 has become one of the best selling video games of all time. Even if you remove the WiiU version, the sales numbers of the Switch version rival Red Dead 2.
The Switch has been an absolute sales machine for Nintendo IP
Call of Duty has been a sales juggernaut for the past two decades, despite it’s annual release nature. At one point it used to absolutely smoke any and all competitors.
It being beat out by a licensed game and being closely followed by a Zelda game (which is only available on one platform) is VERY surprising.
Is this surprising?
