This is what I was thinking.

@metrium if you would stop crying for a few seconds you would realize that those games you mentioned have one thing that Zelda doesnt, MULTIPLAYER. Like it or not that is a popular feature. Generic war fighter??? Who cares people play COD for the MP, i would bet alot of people do the same for U3, and yes it wasnt as good as U2, but the MP was an improvement.

The fact that games have multiplayer doesnt make that a studio deserves more money for puking unoriginal cashgrabs. I understand that alot of ppl buy some games for multiplayer, but imo most of them doesnt deserve the money theyr making... A game that gives you a terrible and short campaign, same features over and over again... with all that is changing year after year is pretty much the maps and the name on the box of the game doesnt deserves millions of $ by selling over 25million copy year after year just because it has good multiplayer.

And for UC3, yes the multiplayer was a improvment, but no one bought the game thinking ''oh, I cant wait to play this online... as soon as I get home, ima take that disc out of the box, put it in my ps3 and go straight to the multiplayer'' because ppl buy and want to play UC for the campaign. I played a little multiplayer and then stopped playing it, personaly I dont think UC would have deserved less sales if it didnt have multiplayer, its just a bonus. Kind of metroid prime2 and ME3, couldnt care less if it had multiplayer or not, imma buy the game anyway... play the campaign... and THEN when I have time I will TRY the multiplayer, have fun with it for few hours then move on. But that is just me and my opinion but im pretty sure tho that it IS a fact that MOST ppl who bought UC3 would have bought it if it didnt have multiplayer anyway.

Releasing a game like Skyward Sword when things like Xbox 360 has been out for five years is like releasing a new Snake game for iPhones. Its sales are great when taking the tech and recent Wii sales into account.

With that said, Twilight Princess deserves to sell more and is definitely in my "top 5 greatest games" list. Another thing to keep in mind is that some people probably completed Skyward Sword and wanted to catch up with the series, just like how Uncharted 2 got a boost from Uncharted 3.

I think people thinking twice to buy SS. Bcause this game need a wii motion plus...
but this game just really amazing, I can't compare this SS with another zelda series. It was just differrent...

The fact that people have used Zelda TP to install HBC on Wii, with some kind of codes in the SD card, helped the game sales a lot.

lol

it is a shame - a great game arrived a year too late!

I have a diehard Nintendo fanboy friend who disagrees with you on SS. He think's it's one of the more disappointing ones and will create a thread for it to vent his spleen soon so look out for it if you want to defend it.

Also I wouldn't compare UC3 to SS, they are different games. I think you have a very unfair view of it but of course you're entitled to your opinion as am I.

Hahaha that's so true it hurts. 

OT: The sales are lower than TP because of a number of factors:

1) WM+ required.

2) "Kiddy" graphics

3)Late in Wii's life

4)TP was released both on wii and GC. The key difference is that was released on it's early life on Wii
