| AZWification said: It's silly to think that TP's sales weren't affected at all by being a launch title on what was an extremely popular console in 2006-2009. I guess Super Paper Mario sold much better than the other games because hardcore fans really loved the type of game SPM was ( they didn't, lol), and it had nothing to do with it coming out a few months later after the Wii's launch. |
Certainly it was a factor but with a series like Zelda that has a very strong dedicated following, install base doesn't matter nearly as much as a more kid/family/casual focused game would, like Super Paper Mario was. U can see that LttP & WW sold pretty identical despite being on platforms with over 2x difference same goes for OoT/MM & TP/SS, the N64 & Wii Zelda titles sold similar numbers despite Wii having 3x the install base.
When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.
