The Legend Of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is releasing May 12th. 2023 after years of anticipation and is set to be one of the biggest launches in Nintendo's history and the biggest launch for the series. However, the question is, how much will it do compared to it's predecessor and current best selling title in the series, Breath of the Wild? Can it surpass the game's total lifetime sales when it's all said and done?
As of September 30, 2022, BOTW has sold 27,79M units on the Switch, while on Wii U it has sold around 1,70M units as of December 2020
Here's a breakdown of BOTW sales on Switch each FY:
Date | Total sales | Sales in the FY |
March 31, 2017 | 2.76M | +2.76M |
March 31, 2018 | 8.48M | +5.72M |
March 31, 2019 | 12.77M | +4.29M |
March 31, 2020 | 17.41M | +4.64 |
March 31, 2021 | 22.28M | +4.87 |
March 31, 2022 | 26.55M | +4.27M |
September 30, 2022 | 27.79M | +1.22M |
What is your opinion? Can TOTK surpass BOTW total lifetime sales or will it fall short ot the total?
