The sales say there were several games offering an alternative to TP. It's success cannot be diminished as "there was nothing else worth buying". 

Pavolink is right; TP sold as well as it did because that is was kind of game that non-fans can get on board with, the kind who scoff at toon graphics.

 

No those sales were over a long period when people were looking for other things to play, in the same period TP sold around 4m and kept on selling while these games dropped off after it was established they weren't worth while and better games like Galaxy came along.

Non fans like PS3 and 360 fans didn't buy TP, Zelda was never geared towards their taste look at how poorly Zelda clones do on those platforms.
