News inside jeuxvideo.com Zelda Vs Horizon: An Eternal War! – LaPetitePelle draws JeuxVideo.com – N°474
Who says Sunday, says La Petite Pelle. This week, it was Zelda Tears of the Kingdom that remained at the center of attention and too bad for the others. And on the Xbox side, its sales figure has dropped, but it prefers to focus on the Game Pass.
The Horizon license has never really had a chance when it comes to choosing its release dates. Zero Dawn hit the market in February 2017, more precisely a few days before The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. Suffice to say that the latter completely stole the show. Rebelote with Forbidden West in 2022, totally invisible by Elden Ring. Needless to say, even the Burning Shore DLC was no exception to the rule with Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, but especially Tears of the Kingdom. However, regarding the latter, a simple trailer was enough for him to send Aloy back into limbo. One would have thought that the Guerilla studio was going to shift its announcements and its title, knowing that the trailer had been planned for a while by Nintendo, except that no. Now that Zelda is officially available, it’s grabbing all the attention and even the announcement of a third episode for Aloy’s adventures wasn’t enough to knock it off its podium.
Falling sales figures for Xbox
Everything is going well for the PlayStation 5, which tripled its sales in January, at European level. On the other hand, for the Xbox, the number of machines sold continues to decline. Those numbers, for the S|X Series, were down 32%. However, they benefit from “new generation” functionalities and it is less expensive than its competitor. However, this is the new strategy of Phil Spencer, CEO of Xbox Game Studio. “We are not intended to sell more consoles than Sony or Nintendo,” he explained. He prefers to focus on his ecosystem via Game Pass and his Xbox Cloud Gaming. However, to get there, Microsoft had the ambition to buy Activision Blizzard, but the CMA (organization responsible for legislating competition) got in the way.
