Does artstyle really affect Zelda sales?

So is Zelda U doomed?

Not necessarily. The artstyle isn't as detrimental as it was in The Wind Waker, but it's definitely not a plus point either. It's going to help that it will have Hyrule Field (unlike TWW and SS), but it better have a lot of interesting places to visit instead of just serving as a boring hub. The combat better be good. It's also noteworthy that Wii U hardware sales won't allow this game to go above 5m, so it's actually doomed in one way for sure. We definitely need more information on the game, because the artstyle alone won't decide its fate.

Hit the nail on the coffin. Bravo.

This pretty much sums up my entire views on the game.
