Why is the GameCube selling better than the Wii U???

Except that Skyrim has sold 20m copies while Skyward Sword only sold 3.9m.  Clearly TES appeals to a massively broader audience. 

However my point wasn't that Zelda isn't broad enough, it was that Zelda will not move many units because if you are an adventure fan there are FAR bigger adventure games on other platforms for far less money.

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.

Oh so you can combine GC and Wii but I can't combine consoles?  

 

Anyways I will just leave this little debate by saying these things:

-The original point someone made was that Zelda could be some mega open-world adventure game that dominates the genre and moves units

-I showed that Zelda is no where near a genre defining title anymore.  The truth hurts to some.

 

Disagree all you want but the evidence is everywhere.
