Putting them together in any single year is already a massive thing that a lot of people think isn't a good idea... putting them together all within a few months difference of each other seems insane, IMO. As for those putting ANYTHING in the December timeframe, why on earth so late in the year AND after Black Friday? I can almost guarantee you'll NEVER see that happen, particularly with titles such as these. Lastly, Roar of War, note every single Nintendo first-party "hardcore" game this generation. They've all pulled epic sales during their first week of sales. NSMBW, Mario Kart Wii, and Super Smash Bros. Brawl all well surpassed 2m first-week. And NONE of those catered as much toward gamers that front-load sales quite as much as Zelda Wii does. Frontloaded sales are always heavily caused by the "hardcore"-type gamers that preorder games in advance and wait for them to release. Zelda is the epitome of that sort of game for Nintendo. It WILL break 2m first-week, and it MAY set a record for Nintendo. Count on it. |
That was less than the time difference between WSR, NSMBW, and WF+, as I recall, and all of those were and are and will be much bigger than any game named in this topic.
