I actually think Skyward Sword sold very well, considering it's a pretty controversial Zelda game.
While not as controversial as Wind Waker, there are quite a few things that make this game unappealing to the core crowd/Zelda fans
- The water cooler art style is definitely a huge turnoff for a lot of Zelda fans ( There are still fans out there that continue to hate toon link)
- WM plus is required to play the game, adding an extra $20 cost to the game
- Motion controls are probably the most controversial part of this game. we all know how much so gamers hate motion controls.
Add the fact that it was released for toward the end of the Wii's lifespan and that the Wii is pretty much dead and the average core gamer hates the system.
To me it's sold very well in such a short time period. I honestly think it will pass 4 million units by the end of the year. Which would be very good for a Zelda game.
I'm an advocate for motion controls, Nintendo, and Kicking freaking Toad to the Moon!
