I find the argument about the graphics shocking - why can't people who fully embrace the cartoon look admit the real reasons for the low sales of Skyward Sword? It sold less than half of what TP sold. You saying people who bought a $250 Wii at launch balked at getting a $20 motion plus add on to the point where millions of Zelda fans didn't even bother? Especially with the bundled remote version of the game?

You're deluding yourselves. People just didn't care.


Then let me elucidate my point. You cannot pin a game's sales based on one factor (in this case, art style). Correlation does not imply causation. That is pure scientific reasoning.


Half the sales with more than quadruple the install base really must mean something though. You wouldn't brush such a major factor under the rug if it supported your position.


I think forcing people to over spend on the game or buy an extra controller doomed it. Had the game featured regular controls, or atleast something like we saw in TP? I think it would have done alot better.
