I can't speak for anyone else but I've been saying all along that the majority of people who buy this game will do so because of the Zelda aspect, not the Musou aspect.  Do you disagree?  In fact, I'd guess that many western buyers have probably had no prior interest in Musou games.  That means they bought the game for the branding more than the game-play.  That makes the Musou comparisons less important.

 I remember you saying that, you are a rare one but indeed itcame from you. It doesn't matter if you bought it for Zelda, its a DW game. The reasoning doesn't effect what this game is.

It can be unfair/an advantage but its comparison lie with DW games. In japan i didn't see anybody comparing it with LoZ games at all, except with seeing if it have legs (which it failed)

I disagree.  I also said that in the Japan the primary comparison should be with Musou games because everyone there knows exactly what Hyrule Warriors is.  There was no consumer confusion or mystery.  In Japan, it's a Musou game with Zelda branding.  In the west, it's a Zelda game first and foremost.  The Musou aspect probably isn't even widely known among casual fans.

Actually, I kind of take it back, I have no problem with comparisons to Warriors games.  However, I do think comparisons to other Zelda games are more meaningful, as the Zelda fanbase is the one purchasing the title, not the Warriors fanbase.

Edit:  I hope you aren't implying that I have a problem with the sales of Hyrule Warriors because I do not.
