| Zekkyou said: Why does it have to be one or the other? Zelda can benefit from both pure popularity and a small library. The two aren't mutually exclusive, in-fact they likley compound each other.

It's an inherently flawed perspective because it assumes that Switch owners are buying Zelda because they have no choice rather than people buying Switches because they want to play Zelda. The "nothing else to buy" argument never made sense. It didn't apply last year when Wii U owners passed up Star Fox and Paper Mario despite having literally nothing else to buy and it doesn't apply this year with PS4 versions of Tom Clancy, For Honor, Mass Effect, and every other multiplatform game selling much better on PS4 than on XBO despite the PS4 also having several big exclusives while the XBO has had none.
There isn't some invisible upper limit of game sales. Zelda didn't take a big hit when Mario Kart released.
