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

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. 



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

Just because it is well known doesn't stop it from doing awful. 

Edit: Remember how well uncharted did for the vita ? :P

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.

pikmin 3 was at 60k pre orders US. first week sales for america (not US) were 115k. since we are using the whole europe, why not use all america too?

USA = 45k
EU = 17k


Why so low?

Question is why not so low ? 

I ask him, but i'll answer you. US should have over 50k pre orders already thats why. 17k for Europe sounds awfully low... No way

What the hell are u talking about? what does Pikmin have to do with anything?

Are u sure Wind Waker is one of the more rejected Zeldas? It sold more than Zelda 2, Majoras Mask, Skyward Sword, Links Awakening, Oracle of Ages/Seasons, Spirit Tracks, Minish Cap and sold on par with Link to the Past which is considered by many to be the best Zelda ever and was on a console with almost 2.5x the install base. Yes Wind Waker got some criticism initially due to its artstyle but that didnt seen to hurt its sales by a whole lot and people are over it being "cartoony".



When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.

Uncharted golden abyss did pretty poor considering that it's probably a more popular franchise than zelda is so how on earth did it do well ?

Fatslob is sounding like a troll, every single point he is making are false, that's not very good for you're reputation on the forums especially when you just joined a few weeks ago.

OP: America:120k Europe:60k Japan:30k Which means 210k for first week which is pretty damn good considering it's a remake of a decade old game.



Predictions for LT console sales:

PS4: 120M

XB1: 70M

WiiU: 14M

3DS: 60M

Vita: 13M

that is the thing Sir, you think the Vita is at the same level as the Wii U. Wii U has bigger franchises, starting with Wind Waker.

2nd. Pikmin has sold 500k in a dying console (according to u) while the best it has sold is 1.63m on the Gamecube. Pikmin will sell well above 1.2 million.

3rd. Wii U sales has been enough bad as to sell inmediately as panckakes, so we have to take a seat and see before getting a conclusion.
