Kinect has sold roughly 20m units, which is roughly the instal base of GC, and looking at the numbers of Journey and WW it becomes clear that Zelda sold better with roughly the same instal base.

You are wrong on so much levels.
Different audience: Kinect - casual gamers and not interested in Fable franchise, Gamecube - nintendo fans and they want to buy new Zelda.

You could also say that Kinect is an add-on, and so is motion+, but SS still sold a whole lot better.

1) Different add on cost.
2) Different appeal (Zelda - basically the same game, Fable - rail shooter spin off)

But then again, Journey is a spin off, so let's compare it with Link's Crossbow training... Oh...? Zelda still sold more. And yeah, you're right; it was bundled. But so was Fable III, right? Does that mean we should detract numbers from it? Because, from what I can gather, we'd have to detract 1-1.5m units from F3 then, putting it roughly in the same league as SS (which needed an add-on, remember?)

1) Different cost.
2) Link's Crossbow training was bundled not to are console, but peripheral for casual and you cannot choose - with or withiout link game (Xbox 360 case). Selling to the same day btw.

Zelda has A LOT of ups and downs, while Fable is a bit more consistent, it's also been bundled and fills a niche that is lacking on the X360.

You are mean Zelda doesn't fill the niche of Zelda/adventure game on Nintendo consoles?

Well, there's a difference in being a Nintendo fan, and a Zelda fan, isn't it? So maybe the Zelda fan base is somewhere around 3m, and every game sold above that is either Nintendo fans, or gamers in general.

Then let me ask you, since you're saying that F:J has a different appeal to it (since it's a rail shooter spin off); doesn't SS have a different appeal as well? You know, using motion controls and all? I've heard a lot of people saying they were turned off by that whole thing, and being a fan doesn't mean you'll buy everything - just look at F:J; that didn't even sell to the fan base either. SS is NOT basically the same games since it plays VERY differently than any other Zelda game, no?

Do you really think it was mostly casuals that bought the Wii Zapper? As far as I know casuals isn't all that in to shooters...

I'm saying that Zelda isn't the only fantasy-adventure game on Wii, whilst that particular selection is quite limited on X360 - or am I wrong?
