 I wrote you several time but just keep ignoring that, core gamers both Wii because of Twilight Princes while casuals both Wii because motion controls and Wii Sports. 

Yeah you keep saying this but you still doesnt have anything to back up your OPINION.

If 7+ million CORE GAMER bought a wii because of Twilight Princess, why didnt ANY other core game sold similar? All Wii games in the top 50 beside Zelda are casual games. The next core game might be Call of duty 3 (2,25 mio sold; rank 56) or Residen Evil 4 (2,24 mio sold units; rank 57). Thats the core gamers on the wii. Twilight Princess was bought by a huge casual audience, just because of the suces of the wii. 50-70% of the Twilight Princess Wii owners probl never finished the game at all.

The only reason TP sold great was because the wii in general sold great and people just bought some games for it (like Zelda).

 Core gamers will buy NX because of Zelda U while more casual gamers will buy because 3D Mario game or some other game. You also ignoring fact that Zelda U port on NX will sell several millions copies of game on NX alone.

The "FACT" ? Wtf? Your from the future? lets talk again next year about the "several millions copies of Zelda U on NX". It might sell 1-2, at best 3 mio if NX is a tradional console. And thats not a fact lol, it snot even a fact yet that Zelda will be on NX nor that NX will launch 2016.

Your stating things you imagine as facts, that the big problem here.

All come to this, new 3D Zelda is huge thing, and now we will have first HD, true open biggest world ever Zelda game that will be launch title on new platform, so definatly will have strong effect and definatly will help NX, also port of Zelda U on NX will sell milions of copies of game. This are facts, but you can still deny them buy some arguments and comparisons that doesn't have any sense.

All your imagined facts?

Wii Sports game is casual game and Zelda TP is core game, casual gamers buy casual games, core gamers buy core games. Simple fact.

Why CoD sell so much worse than Zelda on Nintendo console!? Because in most cases Nintendo owners dont care about multiplatform games, they care about Nintendo exclusive games. I really dont see how you can compare CoD sales and Zelda sales on Nintendo platform. Yet, another comparison without any sense. 

Again not all people bought Wii because motion controls, you have lots a people and especially Nintendo fans who bought Wii to play Zelda TP not Wii Sports.

 

OK, lets say Zelda U on NX will sell just 1-2m (but thats very low estimate because even Zelda WW HD on Wii U will end up around 2m, so I dont see how can new Zelda game like launch title sell less than 3m in any case), even with only 2m sold copies that means around $100m profit for Nintendo on NX version alone.

 

"All come to this, new 3D Zelda is huge thing, and now we will have first HD, true open biggest world ever Zelda game that will be launch title on new platform, so definitely will have strong effect and definitely will help NX, also port of Zelda U on NX will sell millions of copies of game."

This is clear like day, you are probably only on this thread who think otherwise.

Again weak arguments, because none of those games were not launch titles, only launch title we had and basically same situation in which Zelda U is, is TP but you just keep ignoring that.

Its nothing like TP and you dont have any facts either.

TP was on wii and had a horrible 7% attachment rate. It only moved 7mio copies because of the wii´s sucess. There are 15 games on wii that sold better, some that sold double, tripple or 4-times as many units. that is a FACT that TP nor Zelda is a big console mover at all. And thats the ONLY fact here, evrything you stated as facts (like several millions zelda u sales on NX) is prediction at best lol.

All recenltly released home console zelda games (Skyward Sword, Windwaker HD, Hyrule Warriors) sold bad. And it doesnt make any differnece when the game launches. Do you really think zelda games can only be a success when they are launch titles? WTF. Dozens of other gamers (like already mentioned GTA V or even Splatoon) prooved that it doesnt matter when the games are launched. Thats a fact again.

And a POLL isnt even a fact either.

 

Its same like TP, but you keep denying that. New 3D Zelda game coming at end of console life that will be released in same year in which new hardware is launching.

Most of those games from list best selling Wii games that are above TP are casual games with mass appealing, Zelda was never casual game. Fact.

None of those games you mention sold bad. SS sold 4m I dont know in which universe 4m is bad. WW HD sold 1.7m till now, I really don't see how you can say that's bad for remaster on platform with small user base. Zelda spinoff (not real Zelda game), Hyrule Warriors sold 1.3m till now, not bad at all for spinoff on platform with small user base.

 

No I dont think Zelda game could sell good only like launch titles, but fact is that last 3 3D Zelda games that are launched at end of console life prove that they selling worse, MM sold much worse than OoT, TP GC sold much worse than WW and SS sold much worse than TP Wii. So Zelda games that are launching at end of console life are not selling too good. And again, game of new 3D Zelda caliber like launch title definitely will have strong effect on sales of that platform.
