Actually you can have diversity with 2D games, just look at the NES and SNES and handhelds, and only one 3D Zelda has ever passed 2D Zelda.

Its more profitable to make games 2D, you can have more diversity and more games out in a year with 2D, and sales will be on par or even better than 3D, so yeah 3D is pointless

Avinash, the first Zelda is not a proper metric here. It outsold every other 2-D Zelda by 30%, minimum. The 3D vs. 2D sales battle is roughly even, except that Twilight Princess tilts it in favor of 3D

  No OoT is the best argument for 3D, but TP proves the flaw in 3D Zelda, no 3D Zelda will ever equal OoT, but you can be sure TP was more expensive than OoT, and much more than LttP or LOZ 1, for less sales than LOZ 1 and only a bit more than LttP

I'm sorry, did you forget that Twilight Princess is sitting at like 7.2 million sold? Did that escape you?

There's nothing saying that TP was more expensive, in point of fact!

Phantom Hourglass is going to sell "a little bit more" than LttP. Twilight Princess destroyed it. Twilight Princess is going to sell "a little bit more" than Legend of Zelda.

Actually TP is sitting at 6.94 according to VGC

lol, you're actually going to try and argue that N64 Dev costs were higher than Wii Dev costs?

Actually, LttP Snes and GBA combined is over 7.1 million, add in VC sales and its probably a good deal higher, so how did TP destroy it?
