well, much more was expected for Zelda because of the pre-orders

still good numbers, but expected more

don't mind my username, that was more than 10 years ago, I'm a different person now, amazing how people change ^_^

Wow that's awful for Zelda and considerably lower than we all expected (mostly because of the pre-order chart).

"The Nintendo Wii had its biggest Black Friday ever more with than 500,000 units sold just during Black Friday and the pre-Black openings at some stores, he says."

WHO WOULD'VE THOUGHT!! 500k is biggest BF for Wii?

Last year they said they did 600k but that was for the full week, this is just for BF (and stores that opened late Thursday). So going by BenVTriggers projection of PS3 being just slightly below Wii this means that PS3 should be over 500k across Americas.

Hopefully Sony release an estimate, the estimate I've been given isn't anywhere near 500k though.

What was the estimate you got for the Wii? Considering pretty much every piece of anecdotal and inside information suggested PS3 outselling Wii outside of Walmart that seems rather odd. Particularly considering Wii's total Americas sales for the full week are likely comfortably over 600k.

Proudest Platinums:
1. Gran Turismo 5
2. Persona 4 Arena
3. Wipeout HD
4. Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2
5. Super Street Fighter 4

Chart-track data suggests Zelda isn't doing too great in the UK, though I'm hardly surprised - I haven't seen one advert for it here yet (all the Wii ads seem to be for Mario and Sonic 2012).

I wonder what some people want.

Zelda sets record for quickest to half a million -- yet people here are saying it sold poorly.

I guess that's the Internet for you.

I think it is all about BF week. During that week we expect everything to be highly inflated. Has any other Zelda title launched Black Friday week?

500K 1st week of November launch..Great

500K BF week of November launch. Good

Its libraries that sell systems not a single game.

No! *smack*

Better 500k BF for Wii. Zelda will be fine during the next weeks and the next year (hopefully).

Proud to be the first cool Nintendo fan ever

Number ONE Zelda fan in the Universe

DKCTF didn't move consoles

Prediction: No Zelda HD for Wii U, quietly moved to the succesor

Predictions for Nintendo NX and Mobile
