Considering the fact that many bought a game that was already a release on another (earlier) platform, Which games did well? (Excluding Ports)

Off The Top of my head (* means its still selling)

LoZ WW (GCN~WiiU) 4.61mil ⇒ *0.91mil  *20%-30%  (As of December 31, 2013, it has worldwide sales of 1.15 million)

LoZ OoT (N64~3DS) 7.60mil ⇒ 3.33mil  *44%

Persona 4 (PS2-PSV) 0.82mil ⇒ 0.64mil  *72%  (Digital Sales are very good so its alot more)

Pokemon Red/Blue (GB~GBA) 31.37mil ⇒ 10.49mil  33% (Nintendo reported the game actually sold 12mil)

Pokemon Gold/Silver (GB~DS) 23.10mil ⇒ 11.62mil  50% (Nintendo reported the game actually sold 12.67mil)

Give me more great numbers pls!

Super Mario 64 - 11.89m

Super Mario 64 DS - 10.13m

Holy sh*********! Didnt realize how well it sold lol!

Ico (470k) and Shadow of colossus(1.14m)

The HD collection for ps3 sold so far 1.11m

wat is that? Combined games? Cuz i dont think Collections count as Remakes? Srry i dont kno? Opinions on it. 

Why did you choose Japanese-only sales for this game and worldwide sales for the rest of them, out of interest?

The collection is those 2 games remastered in HD for ps3

Im sorry if they dont count for the list, just thought of them when I saw the title, technically they are not remakes so yeah, youre right

Also, here's some smaller-scale examples that I can't be bothered working out the % for:

Hyperdimension Neptunia (Japan-only so far): 75k vs. 59k

Atelier Rorona (Japan-only so far): 79k vs. 26k + 30k (if you're having trouble working that one out, VGC added the sales of the new game onto the original PS3 version, because DB entries have gotten lazy lately)

If HD Collections aren't remakes; then Wind Waker HD isn't a remake either.
