You're lying to yourself, non fans like those on 360 and PS3 didn't buy TP, the reason for its sales was more geared towards the series' reputation and the Wii's momentum, new gamers came in and TP was the go to game for them. The Zelda fanbase itself is always at 9m or so consumers it's just a case of each game finding a balance to cater to most of them as each game changes.

It's nothing to do with cartoon visuals that's just downright BS as games like Borderlands sold well that's just you and Pav throwing your preference in, It's more down other factors. One of the largest factors is Japan, the region's shift away from console games has had more of an impact then visuals, western sales have actually been very consistent.

If you think a toon Zelda can sell Ocarina/Twilight Princess numbers, you're in for a big disappointment when Zelda U's sales come back. (And any future entries that continue to shun mainstream preferences)

Do you realise that Wind Waker have sales of 4.5m on user base of 21.5m!?

And you saying that game that is much more hyped and that will be bigger in any possible way and that which will sell on two platforms, can't pass WW numbers for around 2-3m and have similar numbers to OoT/TP!?
