| VanceIX said: My bad, you're right about the 4.6 million. That's still closer to 4.5 million, not almost 5 million. And I'm going by pure sales, not relative sales on a system. OoT did much better than WW and the amount of N64s and GCs sold were relatively similar. Also, Aonuma also created SS, which had a pretty bad reception by Zelda fans People have said that, but once again, a lot of those people already own a Wii U. You really think this convinces hardcore Playstation or Xbox fans to jump the gun and buy a Wi U? I doubt it. TP gave the illusion that the Wii could handle realistic graphics, thus appealing to the hardcore crowd. This does no such thing. |
OoT was the first 3D Zelda game. The N64 sold 10m more units. That isn't similar enough to not make a difference. MM did signifigantly worse than WW and was the sequel OoT with a darker tone.
SS has a 93 on metacritic. That's not a "bad reception." Zelda Wii U isn't supposed to convince PS or XB fans to get a Wii U. There is literally no franchise Nintendo owns that could get a them to buy a Wii U. TP sold on a gimmick, not an art style. A Wind Waker-looking game would have sold just as well as a launch title for the Wii. Wii Sports sold 80m. People can handle "cartoony, especially back then."
