More than Wii U, about 900k.

Like half a mil at best. There isn't a Musou audience on 3DS. And people in the West aren't going to be inclined to buy it again even if it has the Zelda brand.

I'm going to go ahead and say 2.1m.

>Japan should receive it much better than U version
>Significantly larger install base than U
>Some Hyrule Warriors/hardcore N fans would buy it (maybe like 50-100k)

>It's the superior version for a couple of reasons, like being able to switch between multiple characters during same mission. People  generally shouldn't be looking to buy the U version when this comes out.

500k.

Well, it won't outsell the Wii U version. I have a feeling more people in Japan will buy it, but less in the west will. For example, people who already have the Wii U version will not be purchasing the game if you can buy Tetra and the King on the eShop. Now, if the only way to get them is to buy the 3DS game, then yes, people will buy it. Anyway, I don't think it'll do as well as the Wii U version. But it will probably do pretty good. Maybe around 500k

They shipped over 1 million back in January.

VGChartz make up their numbers for this game. 

Around 1m LT.

It wont outsell wii-u, even if this is a "N3ds" exclusive, the quality will pale to wii-u, and i feel that's essential to the game. I also believe there are alot of wii-u owners who have hyrule warriors on their list of games to buy, but just haven't for various reasons, (price, backlog, etc), so wii-u sales are still going to churn out for some time. Also i think if nothing else the 3ds will compel people to get the wii-u version as well.
As someone who has invested 180+ hrs in the game, i have no desire at the moment to double dip, unless there's going to be more maps, more than 2 characters and other content.

Bottom line, i don't think this will be like Sonic Lost world, where the lesser quality handheld beats out the console, especially with a head start of 1mil + sold.

VGChartz make up their numbers for every game. I'm not sure some people quite understand how estimates work...

As more data is obtained, those estimates are then amended accordingly, hence the occasional revisions up and down. The slower burners will generally slip through the radar, as the main information sources are things like NPD for the West. However they only give figures for select things in software. Especially anything outside the top 20 there is very little to go off other than how it's done at some of the retailers I understand VGC work with?

But yeah, VGC is "estimates" it baffles me why some people take the figures so literally as fact. Tracking the sales of a single title across multiple territories would be a huge undertaking, even IF figures were published in every territory and every publisher/developer announced every single landmark sales data event. However we only tend to hear about the winners, because if a game underperforms, companies generally want to keep that quieter because otherwise it might spook shareholders etc. They also don't always want the competition knowing exactly how they are performing (could encourage more clones trying to grab their sales).

If it comes with all the DLC, looks good and works on o3Ds, 2.5m.
