Skyward Sword HD numbers show how badly the original was hurt by releasing when the Wii was all but abandoned on its deathbed.

Ring Fit headed for potentially over 20 million lifetime which is crazy for a new IP.

Splatoon 2 sales now more than 2.5 times Splatoon 1 sales, very healthy growth for a young franchise.

What hurt Skyward Sword the most was that it just isn't a top tier Zelda game. What Skyward Sword HD numbers show is how big of a deal Breath of the Wild is, just like we've already seen it with Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity.

But the thing is, Skyward Sword HD is still Skyward Sword, so its legs will be about as good (read: bad) as Age of Calamity's.

It also required an extra peripheral on the Wii, for whatever that's worth. On the Switch, it does not.
