It's a struggling console in a non-Nintendo region making a sales increase on an HD-remake of a GC game. I think 5-9k is reasonable for now.

Wait until 3D World and all come out, this is a momentum game for Nintendo atm. The upsing is starting.

For everything else I agree with you, but this is a specific case for Nintendo where this little victory is the beginning to the war being won on the long term.

A non Nintendo region? I mean the Wii did 8m here and the DS did over 10m making it the most successful platform here ever. It's declined, but then it has everywhere else hasn't it? In the same vein US must be a non Nintendo region too!

The rest, wishful thinking.

Okay, the truth: Nintendo has declined much more in Europe and the UK than it has anywhere else in the world, despite the Wii and DS's breakthrough.

@the rest, that's your word against mine but you bring no counter-point. Nintendo wins on games and pricepoint. That's how it was for the DS, that's how it will be for the U. That's how it'll always be for Nintendo. Zelda HD is just the tip of the iceberg.

It's not wishful thinking, but based on solid sales evidence, we've seen it happen time and time again.


I've gone over this argument countless times, you've already probably read my counter argument. You put it in incredibly simplistic terms and ignore all the reasons WiiU is failing, look in the UNITY thread if you're interested.

(It's totally debateable on whether WIiU wins on games FYI) Super Mario 3D is their only big hitter, the rest, not so much.
