Skyward Sword came at the end of the Wii's lifetime and required an add-on to even play. But best of all, it's immensely undertracked on vgchartz. You clearly have no idea what you're talking about.

Twilight Princess sold 9.4 million units by the way. Why on earth are you comparing a game that's on 3 different platforms to an exclusive game anyway?

XBOX360 and PS3 have a combined userbase of 160 million. And I can't even put a number on PC. The GC and Wii have a combined userbase of 120 million, but most people who bought a GC also bought a Wii, so that doesn't even really count.

What's your source for Skyward Sword being immensely undertracked?  The most recent number I can find from Nintendo is 3.52m shipped as of March 31, 2012.  That was only a 100k increase from December 31, 2011.  So it wasn't really growing at a huge rate, at least near launch.  It hasn't shipped more than a million in a fiscal year since then.  I also found a figure on GAF of 3.67m that is supposedly from December 2013, but I can't find an original source for that.

Not sure why you are bringing up 3 different platforms or combined userbases when Skyrim on just the 360 outsold either of the Zeldas on the Wii.

Common sense. Read the comments on the wall of Skyward Sword in the vgchartz database.

Tell me, what's the next best selling Elders Scrolls game?

I bet that huge Elders Scrolls appeal made the mmo flop hard.

Skyrim on the xbox360 sold better than the Wii TP yes, but not by huge amounts at all. Nintendo games don't get pricecuts, Skyrim did.
