Hey you wanted daring predictions

Zelda Wii not being a metadarling seems pretty daring to me

If people are disagreeing with it, that's a good thing, because that makes it daring. Unless it's really, really stupid, like "The Wii will have outsold the PS2 by year's end" or something.

We have to get Monti to make the hardware sales polls.

This being the case, I will elaborate further on my reasoning:

I expect Zelda Wii to be an active rejection of certain core values while holding onto others, but it will do so in just such a way that it strikes the wrong chord with critics, as New Super Mario Bros. Wii has done. It will be very successful for a Zelda game - at least comparable to Twilight Princess on the Wii, though perhaps not both versions combined - but this will stand at odds with critical reception, which, wihle acknowledging it as "great", will lament the things that could have been if not for certain design decisions vis-a-vis Wii Motion Plus or perhaps the Super Guide.
