Is Hyrule Warriors Doomed?

It's not really aimed to be a system seller. It will just be a game that helps fill out the fall library and sells 1 mill or so worldwide I think.

Which is about 10x more than a regular Dynasty Warriors game would sell.

So Nintendo gets an extra notable game to fill in a release gap this year and Koei gets a way to sell the musou series on the Wii U. Win-win ... what's the problem

Agreed.  It's not like Nintendo themselves are taking any time away from proper Zelda U development for this.

Besides, I think it could sell decently in Japan.
