With the wii u selling like a 15 million ltd console it is obvious that zelda u will never achieve the sales it deserves (assuming that the game rates as high as previous installments). So realistically what sales can we expect from such a limited install base, there is no doubt that the game hasn't got a hope in hell of competing with the 7-8 million units of TP and OOT and even the 4.5m of WW looks out of range. The attaches rates of previous zelda game's suggest sales of around 2m on a 15m selling console but this doesn't take into consideration that it will be the only original LOZ game on wiiu (as opposed to 2 games each on wii, gc & n64) released in the half way point of wii u's existance and also factor in the trend that a lower install base usually means a higher attache rate. So far majora's mask is the least popular mainline home console zelda at 3.36m but that could soon change with the imminent arrival of zelda wii u, but despite the odds being overwhelmingly stacked against zelda u i think it can surpass majoras mask but only just and it would require a high metacritic and lots of promotion, i think 3.5m is possible. What do you think? can zelda u beat majoras mask?
