 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.

Wait so are u saying install base doesnt matter then going on to say it does in ur next sentance?

No. In the first sentence, I say that a game doesn't randomly sell way better because of the install base. Of course it sells better, but most Nintendo series on the Wii didn't sell double (Or more) of what they did on the GameCube. 

What I mean in the second sentence is that much more people bought a Wii, giving Skyward Sword a better chance to sell than Majora's Mask got.
