6m-7m is a safe bet but if Nintendo can make this game more accessible to female gamers it's sales could be doubled to 12-14m. I certainly expect Nintendo to try to do just that. Question is, will they succeed?

This may be sort of surprising, but Zelda games are among those with the best female appeal in the entire core Nintendo lineup

Really? Are you saying Zelda sales are usually 50% female, or more? Or do you just mean compared to Metroid and Mario? Also, where did you hear about this? o_o

I'm not pretending to throw out any figures. I don't have any. That would be reckless, irresponsible, and dishonest. My stance is purely anecdotal. In my experience, women love Zelda.

Where did I hear about it? Zelda fandom. Lots - lots - of them are women. Hell, I met my wife on a message board where we talked about Ocarina of Time about ten years ago.
