We knew the numbers would be big, but Nintendo has just announced that The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom has sold over 10 million copies in just its first three days of release.
that The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom has sold over 10 million copies in just its first three days of release. It remarks that it’s the fastest-selling game in Zelda history, but it’s much more than that, and needs some context.Hogwarts Legacy solid 12 million copies in 14 days.Grand Theft Auto 5 sold $800 million worth of copies on its first day, and $1 billion in three days, the all-time record.
So, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is close to many of these, if not shy of some all-time records of revenue and copies moved. But do you see the key difference here?Every other game on this list was released on at least two or three platforms, whatever Xbox and PlayStation was out at the time, and in some cases, also PC. There are really no other games that are rival console exclusives that compare to this. PlayStation’s The Last of Us sold 1.3 million units its first week.
