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?

Around holidays, I may from time to time receive a game as a gift from my wife or rest of family. They tend to buy games that have high-profile IP attached to it. That's how I usually end up getting games like Call of Duty, Just Dance, or even Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games.

I've added more niche games to my list in the past -- but if it's something unfamiliar to the gift-giver, they still end up getting a game with a more established brand to it. I don't think I'm the only one in the US that's experienced this. Though in places where games are less common/more expensive, I doubt that takes place as much.
