I think the fact here is that Nintendo still have so many IP's and tricks up their sleeves that they could spring a 10 mill+ seller on us easily. They do have so much intelligence going on in their software departments. It's just a shame a mojority of the intelligence is based at just nintendo and not other companies. I mean if we took companies making for PS3 there isnt a 10 mill+ seller anywhere. On the xbox360 apart from MAYBE the odd Halo 10 mill+ is too far over the horizon. So really speaking they could release this Zelda and I do predict it will crush anything else this year even if it's released October ish.

Bill Gates had Mac prototypes to work from, and he was known to be obsessed with trying to make Windows as good as SAND (Steve's Amazing New Device), as a Microsoft exec named it. It was the Mac that Microsoft took for its blueprint on how to make a GUI.
