Just for you, darth, I looked up the numbers that Twilight Princess pulled last year from the week ending October 10 through the end of the year, which was the first week ending in January. Total sales numbers: 106,824 If Twilight Princess pulled the same numbers this year, it would be within a quarter of a million of outselling Ocarina of Time, which would put it on schedule to beat it sometime in 2011, unless Skyward Sword cuts its legs out altogether. But, and this is important to note: Twilight Princess is actually selling much better this year than it did last year. Last year, on the week ending October 3rd, Twilight Princess sold 2473 copies. This last week, ending October 2nd, it sold 5954 (I think). In 2009 it didn't reach these numbers until midway through November, just before the big THanksgiving week blowout. We won't have a good indicator of how well it will do unti lthe holiday season is over and adjustments have been made, but right now it looks like it could sell considerably more than last year. I'm not sure why: it's possible that the Skyward Sword reveal has people excited for Zelda. |
Thats interesting.
Why would it be selling better this year when Wii hardware is lower.
Anyway We need to also see that there may have been people who got it for the gamecube and Wii, so there might be a overlap there.
