The last console Zelda is at 4m, Wii U currently has 5 games over 4m, Zelda U selling over 4m isn't out of the question if it remains exclusive but I personally see it being a dual release like Twilight Princess was which makes me believe it will without a doubt sell over 4m. |
That's what a trend is, change over time. On both consoles and handhelds, Zelda's recent entries have sold less than they did back in 2006-2007.
If Zelda U does manage to outsell Skyward Sword, (which is certainly not impossible) it will still be a far cry from the popularity the series enjoyed with Ocarina, TP, or the original game.
