Ryse: Son of Rome has more pre-orders than Wind Waker

Why is this sad? What has Ryse - which looks impressive, but I don't like these kind of games - to do with Wind Waker? Pre-order numbers for Wind Waker don't matter, the fact that we'll get the HD remake is all that matters.

BTW: I think that Wind Waker HD will sell at least 1 million copies worldwide in the long run.

Perhaps he thinks it is sad, because an unknown number of people are going to by the digital version of Ryse.  Which they do not need to pre-order.  So a whole additional chunk of Ryse game sales.

If it's good  and people buy it, I could see it being like another Assassin's Creed historical-ish game that is also popular.  And gets a new version every few years. You could do one about the Greek, the Persians, etc.
