Do people honestly think that Hyrule Warriors will do well? Like at all?

I know, thats the reason why i said 1 mio. instead of 5.

Zelda WW HD also sold 1 mio. and that is a remake, so why not this game?
It might not be a real zelda, but a lot of zelda fans will still buy it.

Not at all. Most Zelda fans WON'T buy it. WWHD is a remake of one of the greatest games of all time. Hyrule Warriors is a reskin of a series that typically can't hit 1m on consoles with 80m units sold. 6.5m is less than a tenth of 1m, not a fifth, so >50k follows that better. I think the Wii U won't sell much more that 15m before it's discontinued. There's absolutely no way one in every fifteen Wii U owners is buying Hyrule Warriors.

Well we could argue about the max. install base, but lets just take the 15 mio. you said.

Why is it so unrealistic that every 15th Wii U owner buys that game? You gotta keep in mind that we're talking about the next few years and not just this year, so price cuts for the game will most likely impact the sales as well.

The Zelda name will carry it to higher sales than normal Warriors games and this releases in a time where people are hungry for new games. This will be the perfect game to fill the gap untill Smash Bros. U imo. Again, i think the name will carry it to a million, not the game itself.
