Will fable 3 be the zelda killer?

I don't expect the next installment in the Zelda series to fall lower than 5M. I expect it to be in the 6-8M range. I'm just saying there's a possibility that it could happen. And that the probability is far higher than most would expect (but still extremely low)

Hell! Wind Waker was less than 100k away from outselling A Link to the Past.

Beside the point now, yes, but the series has just generally ben selling a lot more since it went 3-D.

After checking the numbers, the Zelda series wasn't really ever in a big danger.

Phantom Hourglass (the worst handheld zelda :P) is the best selling handheld Zelda. It has sold more than double of all the others, save for Links Awakening (which is almost definitely the best handheld Zelda)

Twilight Princess (GC + Wii) has outsold the first Zelda. It won't beat OoT.

A link to the past sold just a tiny amount better than Adventure of Link. Apparently, its quality didn't make a lot more buy the game.

Majora's Mask (which I, for some odd reason thought sold less than 2M) was really in the top 15 best selling games on the N64 (OoT was 4th).

 

So actually, Zelda looks like it is "catching up" to selling as well as Mario (platformers), and some of Nintendo's other series, rather than going straight to hell.

 

PS: Khuutra, you need to stop derailing my points!
