Although BotW released over 5 years ago, it seems the game is still selling like crazy. I was shocked when i looked at the latest numbers from Japan, and such an old open world game was still being played by so many new gamers. Didnt everyone already play this game, how is it still one of the top sellers in the world for 2022? Elden Ring hit some pretty impressive numbers for a PS4 title though.
