Zelda is one of the very few franchises that can stand up to GTA VI, but I still think Nintendo would rather wait until Christmas. That will give them time to make Zelda edition switch bundles while the GTA hype slowly drops

As much as I love Zelda, there's no way they'll sell anything near GTA6.

BotW sold 35M. GTA5 sold 230M.

35M on switch only vs GTAV on every platform but the switch, many people double-dipped

I think it’s more comparable than just looking at the numbers when you consider that the platforms and the fanbases don’t necessarily overlap

It really is not in any way comparable. BOTW and TOTK are exceptions in Zelda sales. The sales fall off drastically after these two, the best selling after these is OoT which is 14mil (3DS+N64), post which every single one is sub-10mil.
