I get the feeling this is going to be a popular gift game. Certainly a number of people will buy it for themselves day 1. Beyond that, friends and family know somebody who 1. Likes Zelda. 2. Wants this game but hasn't bought it 3. Has a wii u / is getting one.

 

It's an effect that's hard to put into words....

I don't know... a full priced game is too expensive for a gift in my country, so I would not know, do you get many games as gifts? do you give games as gifts?

To be fair, I doubt hyrule warriors will retain its value nearly as long as your typical nintendo game.  Musou games find their way into the bargain bins much faster than most games, many dropping ten to twenty dollars in price after just a month on the shelves, often times even more.  By the holiday season it could well get a huge price cut just to get more people through the doors in hopes of getting people to buy other crap with a higher profit margin.
