Sales: Why did TP soar and SS flop?

[Zim]

... Compare total sales of game released for 6 months against one released for over 5 years, make no mention of time frames or do a comparison using time frames.

I'm sorry why are people even responding to this post? Would people respond to a topic that said '' Why did Uncharted 2 soar and Uncharted 3 flop?'' ''Why did Gears of war 2 soar and Gears of war 3 flop?''

Are we simply ignoring the fact time exists? ''Why has GTA4 soared and GTA 5 flopped? No copies sold? That's dreadful! ''

Unfortunately we don't have the GC sales in week form but the first 10 weeks of SS destroyed the first 10 weeks of TP Wii.

Here I will make a helpful note for us. After 5 years and 6 months Zelda TP was at 6.49m on wii and 1.59m on GC. Now after 5 more years we can come back and do a comparison of total sales at the 5 and a half year point.
