Actually a lot of people were saying it would not sell better than galaxy, sure many said it would, those who knew more about it, but many were saying it wouldn't sell, wouldn't push consoles, and so forth, people were even saying it wouldn't beat either versions of MW2 in sales, so yeah

Okay... And I strike you as such a person? Believe me, 2D Zelda would not sell close to 3D Zelda in our world. Hell, just look at history. 2D Mario has always beat 3D Mario, the best-selling 3D Mario is at 11 million and like 4 different 2D Marios are above it in sales. 2D Zelda however got beat as soon as Ocarina of Time, the first 3D Zelda, launched.

Actually I said NSMB Wii would definetly beat MW2 combined sales and easily outsell Galaxy.

 

Actually OoT is the only 3D Zelda that may have beaten 2D Zelda and even that is iffy, considering VC and GBA sales of LttP and Zelda 1, but considering how much more expensive and time consuming it was to make OoT than LoZ 1, which do you think was more worth it in terms of cost and man hours?

 

 

Twilight Princess did too. And I don't care which was more worth it in terms of cost and man hours, but honestly? I don't think Zelda was dirt-cheap to make. It would be now, surely, but way back then it probably cost them a great deal. And fuck, this is irrelevant to begin with - You were insisting that a new 2D Zelda would sell more than a 3D Zelda would. Stop trying to change the definition of the argument.

No it didn't, Zelda 1 sold more than TP, TP on Wii and GCN sold 6.94 million combined, which would be less than LoZ 1 sales on NES, GBA and VC combined.

So I didn't change the definition, only one 3D zelda OoT, has had any chance of beating 2D zelda, and none since, not really a shining example of 3D superiority, lol
