GC data is missing and Wii U will have no problem matching it

Hm... won't it? I don't know, GC TP vs. Wii U BotW feels like a far harder battle than Wii TP vs. Switch BotW.

Wii vs. Switch might as well be over at this point, with Breath of the Wild being better received (longer legs for sure), it's actually THE system-seller for the Switch (something TP never hoped to be), will still get plenty of hype with the upcoming DLC and hasn't even had a holiday season yet. Despite all of that, it's already ahead... no contest.

Wii U version on the other hands will surely have much worse legs (it's already taking a very steep decline), and whatever DLC and holiday hype the game gets will be all focused on the Switch version - that, and Nintendo's making sure it never gets too much stock. I don't think it outselling GC TP is guaranteed at all.

Serious? WiiU version is over 1mil already. It wont have switch version legs duh but its already still selling well. Look at PAL and MC charts for april. Its still chugging along even if small. Hell if anything the switch being supply restraint is helping the wiiu version sell more lol

the big issue with this comparison is BotW release in spring where as TP was a holiday release.

Which makes BotW winning much easier as its never had a holiday and it has a story dlc coming

I hope they include Zelda on their marketing campaigns later this year. Imagine how many people want to buy the game but are waiting for holidays/bundles/sales. I bet it will sell a lot during black friday! Not to mention people that will pick it up as a complementary game for Odyssey or Splatoon 2. 



Bet with Teeqoz for 2 weeks of avatar and sig control that Super Mario Odyssey would ship more than 7m on its first 2 months. The game shipped 9.07m, so I won

Regardless of marketing, I think at least until Odyssey is released, Breath of the Wild will remain THE game to get with a Switch for most people.

You could make a strong argument for that being the case even after Odyssey.

I hope you're right, but it's always good to see them promoting the game.

These are VGchartz numbers, right?

If so, this isn't exactly fair considering, when TP came out, there was no way to buy it digitally on the Wii. With the Switch, not only is it possible, but a LOT of people are buying digitally.

As you wish!

 

 

3.27m wii+1.32m GC NOV+DEC 06-MAR 07  vs  ? switch+ ? wii u game Mar 17-June 17...

 

https://www.nintendo.co.jp/ir/pdf/2007/070427e.pdf

Nintendo had announced  in 2015 ( when they released the HD version of wii u ) that it sold 8.85m on both platforms...

VGC has them at 7.16m and 1.59m respectively, -100k... The 30k  of the deficit is in Japan, vgc has it at 40k, while it sold 70k there!

( VGC simply used the sales figure of the last time it appeared in the top 20/30 of Media create/Famitsu )
