...no Majora's Mask?

That jump from Skyward Sword to Breath of the Wild is crazy. Well deserved for BOTW

No handheld Zeldas either. No way BotW has outsold total OoT sales (N64,GC,3DS,VC)

OoT has 7.6m on N64 and 5.6m on 3DS so no it hasn’t.

In terms of initial release, it’s best selling though.

I forgive them for not including the handheld Zeldas in a graph of console Zeldas ;)

But yeah it should make it clear that is initial release sales.

What is a handheld console if not a console, and what is the Switch if not a handheld :P

True, the distinction is somewhat arbitrary.

Although I think you'll find that the original GameBoy was a "Compact Video Game System", so clearly not a console! :P

What about Wind Waker if you include the Wii U version?

I didn't even realise that had been rereleased. It's hard to argue against Nintendo's practice of releasing old games on new hardware when you see the figures.

It sold 8.66m on GC and Wii (1.4m and 7.26m). I can’t seem to find data from Nintendo on the Wii U version which I think means it sold less than 1m as they report on all 1m+ selling games in their investor briefings.

MK8 has sold more on Switch than it did on Wii U. Must have made them huge profit considering how low development costs would have been to port, add a few characters and a battle mode.

Yeah, but "console" is short for "home console" in context 8-)
