Now, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.ph\/blog\/legend-of-zelda-breath-wild-review\/\" target=\"_blank\">The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild<\/a> is the best selling game on the Switch, and the device itself holds the strongest opening ever for the Japanese company. However, some interesting situations have happened with the game and the console: there are more Zelda copies sold than the number of Switch purchased! This has happened in the USA. Nintendo has announced that 906,000 Switch console has been purchased, along with 925,000 copies of the new Zelda game.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to that, the Wii U version of the game also managed to reach 460,000 units in sale, making for total sale of more than 1.3 million units. Breath of the Wild is now the fastest selling Nintendo title of all time, the also the fastest selling game in the Legend of Zelda franchise. Nintendo explained that the attach rate of 100% might be the reason that people bought a limited edition to collect, and a regular edition just to play. It is also possible that people actually bought the game first, before they can actually buy the console.<\/p><div style=\"float: none; display: block; margin: 0 -10px; text-align: center;\"><!-- ph_pricepony_article_incontent_1 -->\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n     style=\"display:inline-block;width:336px;height:280px\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4796993490224996\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"7528541080\"><\/ins>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script>\n<!-- ph_pricepony_article_incontent_2 -->\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n     style=\"display:inline-block;width:336px;height:280px\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4796993490224996\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"2964262507\"><\/ins>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script>\n<\/div><\/p>\n<p><picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/C9VTBa-WAAAIgsS-e1492576842182.webp \"  type=\"image\/webp\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/C9VTBa-WAAAIgsS-e1492576842182.jpg\" height=\"250\" width=\"480\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-43554 sp-no-webp\" alt=\"zelda copies\" decoding=\"async\"  > <\/picture><\/p>\n<p>In a recent statement, Nintendo has shared that the company is doing everything it can to ensure that everyone can get a Switch if they want, addressing the problem of supply.
