  Im going to say the same thing about the Wii and the games you just mentioned.  They have done well and there is no reason to try and say other wise even if you dont like them.

Well, but not enough for this huge install base and for popular Nintendo exclusive franchises.

In my opinion normal number for console exclusive - above 4m (Gears, Uncharted, Halo, LBP, GoW, Forza, GT, MGS4).
Look and Z:SS - not even 4m, but it is released near the end of console cycle and suppose to be HUGE accordingly to Nintendo auditory. And Metroid numbers - so much shame. Even Hitman and Tomb Raider do better today.
This is all because hardcore audience of Xbox and PS much bigger than Nintendo. Huge game sales on Wii was possible thanks to casual gamers.

Thats why i dont understand people talking about Zelda, Mario Kart or something will save Wii U.

 


It is because they tend to sell well

1 Super Mario Bros. NES 1985 Platform Nintendo 29.08 3.58 6.81 0.77 40.24
1 The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time N64 1998 Action Nintendo 4.10 1.89 1.45 0.16 7.60
2 The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess Wii 2006 Action Nintendo 3.56 1.95 0.60 0.66 6.77
3 The Legend of Zelda NES 1986 Action Nintendo 3.74 0.93 1.69 0.14 6.51

 

Anyways, yes fans can exagerate at times and the biggest console exclusives but Mario and Zelda tends to be in the big exclusive lists often.  Zelda may not outsell Gran Turismo and Halo but it does outsell Gears and Metal Gear often.

And why you forgot about The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword - major Zelda release in 5 years. Only ~3.5m sold. Even Fable 3 do better (is it bigger franchise now?).

 

Also, lold about NES and N64 - so relevant today.

3.5 is still amazing and very few exclusives can do that either.  I haven't been comparing games, that would be you.  However I will for a moment.  top 5 exclusives of todays time would probably look something like this.

 Mainline Mario,  Pokemon, Halo, Gran Turismo, and  Super smash Bros

Its sad,alot of my friends that consider themselves gamers literally only play COD, FIFA and Assassins Creed

Newsflash: They are gamers because they play games.

OT: I reckon the next 10 million seller for the PS3 will be GTA IV

You are don't answer my question.

Ocarina of Time (3DS):

YearYearlyChangeTotal
2011 2,361,053 N/A 2,361,053
2012 599,737 -74.6% 2,960,790
2013 77,231 -87.1% 3,038,021

Skyward Sword:

2012 679,370 -76.6% 3,582,692
2013 60,038 -91.2% 3,642,730


Fable 2:

2009 910,165 -61.0% 3,246,714
2010 527,550 -42.0% 3,774,264

 

Fable 3:

YearYearlyChangeTotal
2010 2,666,066 N/A 2,666,066
2011 1,941,410 -27.2% 4,607,476
2012 273,440 -85.9% 4,880,916

 

Fable is bigger franchise than Zelda (second after Mario) now?

With this numbers, i think sales for upcoming WW HD remake would be 1.5 - 2m.

Ya there still gamers but my point is its that they confine themselves to 3 series when theres literally hundreds of games just as good or better
