Zelda U: The Zelda title the Wii U deserves, but not the one it needs?

>A cel-shaded game, on this scope, will move a significant amount of Wii Us. From the sounds of it though, you're sound ungrateful. My current prediction for this Zelda title is 7 million in lifetime sales

2 million is optimistic. Consider the sales history of the weirdly-graphicked Zeldas - they do not do well - and look at the install base.

The cel-shading is visually appalling. The nonsense someone was posting about Ghibli or Mononoke or whatever means nothing to the game's primary market, viz. the west.

Also, I find it disturbing that Link is sporting a blue tunic rather than his iconic green one. Is it a special tunic or a reckless art decision?

If we're in prediction mode, I'm going to say 900K units sold, LTD. A lot of Wii U owners are already turned off to the art style, and it's not going to draw new Wii U owners' attention, especially not at $65. It'd have to get a perfect metacritic score for it to break 1M.
