Then why hasn't pikmin 3 already passed the 700k mark yet since it's a new game ? What makes you think that an HD remaster of one of the more rejected zelda game will do wonders for a system like the wii u. 

Edit: BTW I'm being extremely generous with my prediction here seeing as how I think it might not even get half those numbers. 

Pikmin 3 already sold 500k, what's your point?

pre orders for US is 80k and first week sales are generally double or more than the preorders. we know it did good on UK, at least. I'd say a minimum of 250k combined, probably over 300k.

No just no.....


Take Kingdom hearts HD for example it had 162k pre orders and its first week sales were 177k.

Tales of Xillia had 166k pre orders and its first week sales were 98k

Pikmin 3 85k pre orders and its first week as 103k

Dragons crown 77k pre orders first week 97k

Project X Zone 45k pre orders first week 55k

The list goes on and on.

My point is why would a remake of one the worst zelda games be able to outsell a small franchise such as pikmin.

US - 85k

EU - 50k

Edit: Well so much for the people here expecting for it to go over 700k lifetime.


Why? Nintendo gameshave the best legs in gaming (in terms of year spans)

Doesn't mean the market won't ridicule wind waker HD though. 

No way. Digital Sales might be doing okay for now but not even counting those retail should do good. Not like 3-5mil Success cuz this is a remake. But it'll leg out pass a million lifetime. Your prediction is 135k retail right? add 30k to it and thats around 170k World Wide (counting 5k for the rest of the world).You dont think a NINTENDO FIRST PARTY GAME will leg out pass 700k starting off with 170k First 2 days? REALLY O.o

your talking about 2 different franchises though. One is niche and had a million sales and another one thats well known. Thats like comparing Assassins Creed with gravity rush. Anyway Pikmin is still growing. Its not like most games that completely stop after a month of release. Anyway LoZ will pass 700k lifetime, just like WiiU will sell over our 5million lifetime bet this year

Actually Dragon Crown didn't even hit ,100k in thefirst month according to NPD o.O

This time wind waker HD will not do wonders since it's on a bad system and by bad I mean selling worse than gamecube bad. It's almost guranteed that the market will reject it. 

hint: the absence of releases was the cause of bad sales.

Hint: Pikmin 3 didn't do wonders now did it ? 

hint: does the term "niche title" ring a bell?



fatslop at it again, i see.

Anyways, here's my prediction:

US: 90k
EU: 50k
JP: 30k :P

So, 170k first week retail. There prolly is some decent digital sales as well. So the real numbers will most likely be about 250k

O_o are you taking into consideration that it launched at different times in different regions?
