| JRPGfan said: 614,143 units of Twilight Princess HD (WiiU), and 4 more weeks of 25k? 1M+ sales day 1 announcement from Nintendo?
Do people actually think this isnt a crazy overestimation of preorder? How many older Zelda remasters, have sold 1m+ day1?
look at this: "During its first week, the game was sold with three of every four Wii purchases and passing one million Wii units sold in North America within three months." Zelda TP sold REALLY well back with the Wii, when those sales where picking up, and it still took 3months to reach 1M. But now with wii U sales basically dead, and on a much smaller install base, a re-release of a old game (most nintendo fans probably have already played), is suddenly going to sell in 1day, what took the Wii more than 3 months? |
When the installed base is 0, it's kinda hard to break 1 million quickly.
Ultimately, TPHD is an improved version of a game that sold like 8 million copies. If 10% of those people + some who never played it buy TPHD at launch, you have your million.
