People should stop saying Zelda sales are shrinking or even diminishing. This isn't true. Only Skyward Sword had disappointing sales with 3.5 millions sold. But Twilight Princess was the record of the serie with 8 millions solds, more than OOT.

Animal crossing has a bigger potential on handhel, as it is the perfect handheld game, and on handheld it will remain a 10+ million franchise. Zelda can't sell these numbers, but Zelda has a very strong and dedicated following. Even a Zelda remake of OOT sold more than 3 millions. The DS episode sold 3 and 5 millions respectively. The power of the brand is still superior to AC by quite a good margin.

AC will sell way more on HD, where it is the killer app, while Zelda will sell much more Wii U than a AC Wii U version.
