Numbers taken in a vacuum without consideration for contributing factors are not an accurate means of guaging present or future potential for success. Skyward Sword launched after the announcement of the Wii U during the Wii's weakest point in term's of image and appeal and, like most Nintendo games in that period, had next to no marketing of any kind. And Skyward Sword took an unusual direction for combat and world structure while this Zelda is taking a more mainstream approach that is more in line with the traditional Zelda setup and also more potential to appeal to people outside the franchise.
Oh and that "bomb" with all those hampering issues sold 3.88mil. So yeah. |
The Wii's weakest point still wasn't as weak as any point in the Wii U's life. Zelda U will do better as far as percentage adoption goes, but no way it sells as much as TP does or even close to it.
