As GTA 6 battles Zelda: Ocarina of Time, expert says Nintendo is "the only company" that could try

GTA 6's upcoming release is set to dominate November, with most other games fleeing from its enormous shadow, but it does have one major opponent in the form of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake. One expert goes as far as to say Nintendo is "the only company in the industry with a fanbase loyal enough to make that bet."

The GTA 6 and Ocarina of Time remake rivalry was the topic of a Saturday Night Live (SNL) sketch from a few days ago, in which the show fails to make Zelda sound boring and seemingly wasn't expecting the crowd to react more excitedly about Link's adventures in Hyrule than Rockstar's upcoming blockbuster. Oops. That aside, it still makes a valid point about the two wildly different games having a sort-of-Barbenheimer moment next month (two weeks apart, but still), and one expert has weighed in on the matter.

Aakash Gupta served as a leader of product growth at multiple companies, as well as a Fortnite producer at Epic Games, and "spent a decade in product and growth," now writing "deep dives on product strategy." In a lengthy new post on Twitter, he discusses the "game of chicken" that comes with working out release date calendars.

"GTA 6 is so big that every major game publisher evacuated November. Except Nintendo, who scheduled a remake of the highest-rated game ever made, a 99 on Metacritic, two weeks in front of it," Gupta begins.
