| Otakumegane said: But let's see here. You neglect the fact that while Skyward Sword sold less than Fable 3, Fable 3 was released around the height of 360 popularity and SS was released on a pretty much dead console |
Oh wow. Wii was dead - because Nintendo would not release any game for it. And they released fricking ZELDA! Run to the store and buy it!
Install base on the Wii also much bigger.
| Otakumegane said: and OoT3D was released on 3DS a couple months back. |
Totally diffrent game on different console. No any similarities with NSMBU. Also it is - BEST GAME OF ALL TIME for Christ sake. Run to the store and buy it!
| Otakumegane said: Sword is also something I'd call one of the Zelda "black sheeps". Some people liked it, some people hated it. Motion controls weren't accepted by everyone. Reminds me of something....Fable:The Journey? And that sold a lot worse. |
It is main zelda game in 5 years. Like it or not, if you are Zelda fan - you will buy it. And Fable Journey example - massive fail. To buy it you must have Kinect and only 20m users buy it - mainly casual. So yeah - massive fail.
| Otakumegane said: I actually don't know what Fable is. Fable:The Journey? And that sold a lot worse. I'd say that even killed the franchise for some. |
You are say you know nothing abou Fable, do you?
| Otakumegane said: if you want to assess the value of the Zelda IP in terms of Sales you should be looking at Twilight Princess. It's the traditional "Zelda" game. Much like you're using Fable 3 instead of Fable:The Journey. |
Z:TW was lunch title with gimmicky motion controls - yet not even 10m sales.
| Otakumegane said: In fact, I'm willing to bet that the next mainline Zelda title will outsell the next main Fable title. |
Z:WW HD - 2m in 2 years max.
New Zelda - 4m in 2 years max.
