If Zelda/splatoon/3d mario are all the highest selling games in their franchises lifetime wouldnt that mean its reaching a new audience? Ex Highest zelda previously was Twilight Princess and thats around 8.5mil lifetime. BotW will be way ahead of 10mil lifetime

The games are some of there best work in a decade, and it's nintendo next console and a handheld, so it makes sense that sales  will go up for those games.

3D zelda was never on Handheld before (excluding remakes) so it would mean nintendo attracted new customers to the system correct? If BotW is number 1 i mean. If it sells lets say 11mil. Thats 2.5mil+ more than the highest selling previous top seller. And Thats if all 8.5mil that bought twilight princess bought BotW which is very unlikely (especially given it was on the casual wii console).

 

My point is there are new audiences aside from nintendo fans that are buying the game(s). Maybe just maybe BotW is the first LoZ game for many? Like at least 1mil+

 

Edit: btw zelda botw in Japan will finallt sell 1mil+ which no zelda has done since 1996... That has to be some new consumers buying the game wouldnt you say? :)
