Zelda SS outsold by Zelda OO3D

[Zim]

No Lucas-Rio it was never behind. So let's look at week 6 since that would be around when you made this thread. Week 6 of skyward sword the total is 2.575m, week 6 of OoT the total was .804m. And you didn't think it was obvious which was selling better? Even taking away the 400k adjustment it meant SS was outselling OoT by nearly 3 times as much. Anyone could see that SS would end up with a bigger total.

Fine KungKras let's look at your points.

1. Comparing Zelda and mario.... does this even need pointing out? How an adventure game and a 2d platformer aren't comparable?

2. Zelda should have turned into something like the Elder Scrolls? Urrrrggg please god no. The elder scrolls are just a big map with nothing to do and bad gameplay. We don't need a ridiculously huge Hyrule full of straight forward dungeons.

3. The artstyle is a problem? Seemingly you seem to be saying you wished it was realistic. As you wanted OoT style graphics. May I suggest you play a game called Twilight Princess? The fact is Nintendo couldn't really go realistic with the graphics because compared to the games out now they would look very bad. They had to go stylized, as then it isn't as directly comparable. If anything I think the mistake was not making them more stylized. When the Wii U is out then they make the first Zelda on it realistic. If the xbox next and Ps4 come out and far far better in graphics then consider making the second Zelda on Wii U stylized.

4. So you want a 25 year old game to serve as the basis for what to do? Why not use the more recent, better selling, better received game as a basis?

5. SS had ALL of the advantages? Except not being bundled? Even your point of 95million userbase is tenuous. I had to buy wii motion plus to be able to play skyward sword.

6. Aonuma is ruining the Zelda series? Really lets look at games Aonuma was involved with. Ocarina, Majora's mask, Wind Waker, TP, SS, Phantom Hourglass, Spirit tracks. So he worked on the two best selling games and he also worked on the top 4 rated Zelda games (OoT, TP, WW, SS). Pretty impressive for a guy ruining the series. If you had claimed he was damaging the handheld versions then you would perhaps have a slight point. As it is, nope.
