Does artstyle really affect Zelda sales?

 Twilight Princess sold less than double the amount of Wind Waker despite having nearly 6x the install base to sell to.

Just because the install base is higher, it doesn't mean the games will sell a lot more.

he only difference is Majora's Mask was dark and Skyward Sword was colorful, if artstyle really affected sales then shouldnt MM have outsold SS?

No. Wii had a much larger install base.

Also, TP came out when the Wii was first launched. The install base was relatively miniscule at that point. SS came out when the install base was at a peak, and still managed to sell less than Wind Waker.
