Did the GC outsell the 64? |
You placing a lot of sales on Zelda which has never been a huge system seller.
64 sold what 10 million more than the gamecube.
How many zelda's have sold 10 million? 'hint answer is none
Wind Waker sold only 3 million less than the best selling Zelda game ever (ocarina, or TP if you join GC/Wii sales). It sold over a million more than the previous Zelda.
So let me ask you this. Did Wind Waker lose 3 million fans of the Zelda series or did it retrieve 1 million of the fans back.
1998 - Ocarina of Time - 7.6 million
2000 - Majora's Mask - 3.36 million
2002 - Wind Waker - 4.6 million
Looks like Wind Waker saved a dying franchise from those numbers. And as you pointed out, GC had smaller userbase.
