Fire Emblem's high points in sales are on a similar level as Zelda's low points. There's quite a difference between the two. Switch installed base is similar to Wii U's installed base when Hyrule Warriors launched, the 3DS version of a Warriors game is heavily scaled down, so a higher installed base doesn't matter much. It's obvious that the Switch version is a much better game, so it beating the New 3DS version shouldn't surprise anyone. |
The overall number of units sold doesn't matter that much with these smaller games. The Switch has actual excitement and a hungry user base (and the console is still sold out in Japan), so you'd expect a far better result on Switch than Wii U, all else equal.
The only other thing I'd note is that I would think that FE would be more appealing as a Musou title than Zelda. The target market for FE is far more similar to other Musou tie-ins.
