I don't know why it has to be a competition.

    I don’t know why fans need to make it a competition. Like, why does it affect you if Zelda succeeds over GTA or vice versa?

    Right. And both companies are going to make bank anyway. The fact that AAA game companies are greedy assholes that want ALL the money instead of just LOT of money should not get gamer sympathy.

    If you release your years-in-the-making, multi-billion dollar, AAA-series game at the same time as a much smaller game that is just a remake of a very old game but has a MUCH bigger and much more loyal fan base on the same day, it could kill your first week sales which will usually set the tone for sales for the foreseeable future.

    (Nintendo barely has to lift a finger to steal the thunder from something Rockstar has been spending years and years preparing for and making promises to stockholders about. Should be fun.)
