There's definitely a limit to how many sales Revelation can have, but at the same time, to me it seems that PC games can often have great legs. That includes the previous two games as well. I would definitely expect OoT to outsell Revelation initially, but I don't think it's an unreasonable idea that Revelation might still beat OoT in the long run. Personally I'd still find that surprising, but if Revelation is to have a chance, it'll probably be due to legs.

And that would also depend on OOT tanking.

For context Skyward Sword HD (A remastered Wii game) sold 4m, which is probably more than Rebirth managed up until this summer.

A big budget remake of the most reknown Zelda game being hyped by Nintendo & sitting as their big Holiday title is going to shoot north of 10m at minimum and that's without us even considering the Zelda movie in Spring.

Essentially the floor for Zelda is still probably higher than the roof for revelation imo. Having great PC legs is how it can reach 8m-10m. I can't imagine how bad OOT Remake would have to be to sell less than 10m 

I do hope Final Fantasy gets its Resident Evil VII/Monster Hunter World moment where it finds a huge new audience but I don't it will be with the trilogy.

I think our thinking is fairly well aligned.
