Skyward Sword pre-orders all over again.

Hopefully not! That was heart-wrenching! O_O

Still to high in your prediction.



Proud to be the first cool Nintendo fan ever

Number ONE Zelda fan in the Universe

DKCTF didn't move consoles

Prediction: No Zelda HD for Wii U, quietly moved to the succesor

I guess I need to pay more attention to the accuracy of preorders. Just took that as canon. How badly was Zelda's preorders off by?

It's a limited release. I see a lot of overly optimistic predictions. I don't know 40k?

I'll edit this later for you.

EDIT: Pre-Order: 477'440 FW: 604'477 ...  wait, what? I thought there was a decline?! The heck?! 

(Geez looking through those charts is ridiculous.) >_>

You guys are way too optimistic. 60-75k max.


So, less than half of the pre-orders then?


Less than half of VGChartz reported pre-orders. Big difference.



Crusty VGchartz old timer who sporadically returns & posts. Let's debate nebulous shit and expand our perpectives. Or whatever.

VGC needs only to take the figures from one store and site, making it far more accurate. 

No way will it sell below 130k IMO. Remember it sold mearly that first week in Europe, a far smaller area for the genre with much less buzz.



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

it sold ~26K in europe first week according to VGC.  

Though, Xenoblade might have more buzz because of how highly its been rated. etc.

We'll see soon maybe.

There was. Pre-orders numbers were around 800k iirc. And FW was like 550k, then it was adjusted up.

I am reducing a little my prediction posted in the other thread. I am thinking 149.000, a little less that the final pre-order numbers and within the usual vgchartz prediction error percentage.
