thats kind of my point. Traditionally they have been released either in the middle or toward the end of the life of the console, so at that point people's mind are already made up and people who were interested in Zelda would already have the system. So sure i guess its indirect(we cant know for sure either way, but ill agree anyway) but its not like a Mario or I would even say GTA back in the day where people are buying a system JUST for it. I think OOT was the last game where people truly bought a console for just Zelda and i could be wrong about that.

But if released at a console launch, it could drive a lot of hardware like TP  did on the Wii. I suspect NX is going to have a lot better launch sales than Wii u

IMHO TP didnt drive the HW I think it was the opposite. How much would have Wii sold without the motion controls? Not a lot I imagine. Zelda or not.

Edit: Now with that being said. I do think this new Zelda will drive sales of NX by simple virtue of it being the most high profile game being released. I dont think there will be anytthing at launch that comes even close.
