I remember that thread, but don't forget that tbone brings so much enthusiasm to these forums that he can appear to be twenty different people.

Jokes aside, internet hype rarely equates real world interest. The brand will help, yes. But it's not going to make a Warriors game skyrocket in sales. Did the best-selling Warriors game on a Nintendo system surpass 0.5m? How many have been released on Nintendo systems anyway?

420k, the majority in Japan.

Nintendo consoles were the home of Samurai Warriors games for a while (2 on Wii; 2 on 3DS).  Though they did migrate back to Sony consoles eventually because, indeed, that's where the fanbase is.

And yes, you're right, forum hype =/= real world sales.  But if people on the forums who know this is not a proper Zelda game are interested in buying it...

Dont know how you can say SW was the home on Ninty consoles, when there were more games on SOny systems than Ninty by a mile. Even then thats not the best comparison as that series as always been seen as a Dynasty spin off and it doesnt put up even the main series numbers.
