I disagree with this line of thought. There's no definitive proof of this. If it were as easy as that, anybody can make a successful franchise. It isn't that simple. I wont reject the idea that it's possible that a darker, more "realistic" Zelda title could sell more and can be a big reason why people don't buy some of the newer ones. However, you cannot actually claim that this IS what people want. You can show cherry picked data, but the truth is that there actually isn't enough data to support the thesis given that there's not only contradicting data existing out there, but also the fact that there are many other factors that could be at play as well. |
Of course there are other factors, but looking at the games that sell today, there seems to be a preference for more "mature" presentation. This is an industry where "kiddy" is routinely used to dismiss games.
