"Zelda won't cause a hardware bump!"

Hard to believe some people can be that out-of-touch. In this industry, at this time, on that system, there's little chance the game wouldn't have caused sales to go up this month.

How much, and how long, that's up for debate, but that it would should never have been a question.

The argument I mostly heard was that nobody would get a system for WWHD cos it was a port of a decade-old game.

I'll say this: while I think the popularity of the series has diminished over the years, Zelda is still a big franchise. I don't think that this spike will last for long (though once the holiday bump comes in we won't be able to tell), but for now it's actually one of the strongest titles the Wii U has had.
