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.

Non-fans did buy TP; Wind Waker and Skyward Sword show what the series sells when it only caters to the existing fanbase. To get more than that, it needs to reach beyond the people who would buy it either way, and those people don't want light-hearted cartoon games.
