If anything this was one of its biggest selling points. One thing is a straight port of a Wii U game released only 5 years ago like Pikmin Another thing entirely is a remake of a 20 years old fan favorite 2D Zelda built from the ground in a new enginee And do you think the demand for Zelda haven't hit an all time high after BOTW? Dude look at the number of views of BOTW 2 teaser, and it barely have any information other than the fact we can now explore skies A Warrior-like kind of game based on Zelda sold 4 million units, almost 4 times the previous entry made, a popularity entirely borrowed from BOTW LA had everything played perfectly to be a stellar seller, after making 3 million on first quarter this forum went wild and people were predicting almost 10 million. 2 years later still on the 5 million range, just because it exhausted the pool of people willing to pay 60 USD and will only get residual sales, mostly from quick discounts Nintendo give from time to time |
I disagree, being an old been-there-done-that game as opposed to a fresh new one is a minus for sales potential, not a plus, especially when you're asking for $60 for a remake of a Gameboy game.
And none of that contradicts my point that Dread absolutely has the potential to be the highest selling Metroid. I see absolutely no reason why it can't outsell Prime at 2.8 million.
