Pachter: Zelda will move 10m NX consoles "pretty quickly"

If someone is buying because of the potential they wouldn't be buying for the crossgen game.

Is it that hard to grasp the idea that heavy-hitter titles being there at launch helps provide assurance for what's ahead?  And a game being crossgen doesn't necessarily have much impact when 1) the console it is crossgen with is a spectacular sales failure with less than 15 millions sold, 2) the title is launched simultaneously on both, and 3) the title is of sifnicant quality or singicance.  Twilight Princess was a major factor in Wii hype despite being announced for and coming to the GameCube.  And as I already said, Zelda alone won't do it but Zelda is as strong a flagship for a launch as any. 

Patcher is claiming Zelda is going to move, so it's based on Zelda, not on the promisse of potential or future.

And I can be wrong, but crossgen SW wasn't at any time or console a incentive to go to the next gen, even more if the next gen isn't head and shoulder ahead.

 

So yes, it's hard to grasp NX outselling the WiiU LTD in one year because of Zelda.
