U base this off of Skyward Sword selling much less than Twilight Princess but if u look at the history of the series, the second mainline release on a perticular console always sells much less than the first. NES Zelda-6.51m Zelda 2-4.38m Zelda 2 sold 56% of Zelda 1 N64 Ocarina-7.60m Majora-3.36m Majora sold 47% of Ocarina Wii Twilight Princess-6.83m Skyward Sword-3.69m SS sold 54% of TP So Skyward Sword hasnt shown that the series Is declining as the second release on a console sells roughly half of the first. Also u laugh at the people who think Wind Waker HD can sell over 700k, lets look at the sales of remakes compared to original releases. Ocarina of Time-7.60m Remake-3.14m The remake sold 41% of the original Link to the Past-4.61m Remake-2.70m The remake sold 58% of the original Links Awakening-3.83m Remake-2.22m The remake sold 58% of the original Zelda remakes typically sell 40-60% of the original, if Wind Waker to follow this pattern then it should sell 1.84-2.76m. In purely retail figures no it will not likely reach those numbers but with digital and bundled sales then it has a chance. |
Once again we`ll see who`s right. Just because the remakes sold good doesn`t mean that this one will do well since it`s on a really bad platform.

Do u admit now that the series as a whole isnt declining tho?
And ur right it certainly isnt proof that WWHD will sell that well but it also shows there are legitimate reasons why people think it will sell over 700k.
