For the people that don't care about Zelda? I have zero interest in Zelda. So to represent how weak the launch line up is - you remove Zelda.

The launch line up is only "good" when you include that one game. If you remove one game it is a weak lineup. Thus anyone that finds no interest in Zelda considers it a weak line up.

A small number of gamers seems to be sure that Zelda is the greatest video game ever and that each new game in the series is an amazing system seller that the whole world dreams about.

And yet, the best selling Zelda game ever (Twilight Princess) sold less that Uncharted 4, even with an userbase twice bigger. It also sold less that annual games like FIFA (once again with an userbase twice bigger).

Zelda is a critical success and is hugely loved by Nintendo fans. But the broader audience doesn't care that much about it, and it surely won't change a console's fate by itself.

Some games sell 30m but they dont sell a system, some games sell a third of that, but they sell tons of systems, Fifa is not a system seller, BoTW is, NSMB sold 30m on Wii, how was translated that into WiiU sales with NSMBU? of course, that's what happens when your game has mass appeal but is not a system seller.

Also, funny how you totally forget that OoT, a game on a 35m userbase, sold more than uncharted 1,2 and 3 on an 80m userbase, what is the conclusuon of that? or maybe that part does not interest you? Appart fromt he fact that TP sold more than 9m when you combine the GC version, but BoTW will probably be the best selling Zelda ever anyways. I can't wait to see you like "nah only sold 10m, most of the people don't care "
