They won't. It's an absurd claim.

No game that isn't bundled will ever have that kind of attach ratio. Never mind a remake of all things. OoT is THE most popular Zelda game of all time (hell, it's one of the most popular games of all time period), and the remake did around 3 mill on the 3DS, a system with over 30 million potential buyers. So around 10% attach ratio for a remake of the biggest Zelda ever.

 

Anyone who thinks Wind Waker will do more than 2 mill tops over the next 3 years or so is out of their mind.


When OoT 3DS released the 3DS wasn't at 30 million. Hell, it wasn't even at 10 million. OoT 3DS helped the 3DS sell. Wind Waker HD could help the Wii U sell.


According to this site, the 3DS was up to over 13 mill by the end of 2011. OoT sold around 2 mill that year (66% of it's total sales so far), so that's 2/13 3DS owners who bought it the year it came out. For the most popular Zelda of all time.

But Wind Waker will entice 4/5 Wii U owners? Don't make me laugh
