The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild officially enjoyed the strongest ever start for a non-bundled launch title on a Nintendo console. Of course, the game is not exclusive to Switch, but is also available on Wii U, and therefore, the total figures are likely even higher.

Based on reports that the Wii U version accounted for 22% of global Breath of the Wild sales during its first week, we estimate that combined sales might account for over 2 million during its first 2 weeks. If that was the case, Breath of the Wild would jump up to 4th place behind Horizon Zero Dawn. Until we have confirmed data, though, the game clocks in at a still highly impressive 5th.
