Forums - Nintendo - Which will have higher sales? Skyward Sword or Zelda WiiU?

Metrium on 26 January 2013

Depends on when the game will launch. If it launch with the system still having a couple of years in front of it, Zelda WiiU but not by a huge margin.

SS's sales are not bad, they shipped 4milion units and to be honest I'm having a hard time seeing ZeldaU selling over 5mil.

Wii U for sure. According to the several Zelda fans I know, the MotionPlus requirement was a barrier from them actually purchasing the game. I've loaned out Skyward Sword and my spare MotionPlus three times in the past year. Kingdom Hearts 3D twice. Now I'm getting three different requests for Xenoblade.

I need to stop this and tell them to actually pay money for a game they want to play.


Now we know why Skyward Sword didn't sell.  Because you lent your copy to everyone.


STOP KILLING NINTENDO!


I blame Call of Duty. None of my friends listen to me when I say "you know if you skip just one of the annual Call of Duty releases, you could buy another game and not miss out on anything whatsoever".


But then you give them the game so they can have their Call of Duty and eat it too >_> Expect Reggie to kick down your door in the near future.

But it gets much worse. They're holding my copies of Twilight Princess, Wind Waker, Pikmin 2, The World Ends With You, and Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door hostage.

I brought this on myself. >_<

I think it will be somewhere in between skyward sword and twilight princess

Got 2 requests for SS and 3 for Xenoblade as well. 

At least in Xenoblade's case spreading the word so that "X" does well hahaha.

Zelda Wii U, as long as it has traditional controls and the art style isn't so off-putting



The Screamapillar is easily identified by its constant screaming—it even screams in its sleep. The Screamapillar is the favorite food of everything, is sexually attracted to fire, and needs constant reassurance or it will die.

DanneSandin on 26 January 2013

Well, it all depends, doesn't it? Zelda U most be attractive enough for a larger crowd to want it. If they go the more "darker" and "grittier" route it should sell more, and if it's released 2014 it'll sell more, and if you don't need any peripheral it'll sell more.

But I'm quite positive it'll do between 5-7m



I'm on Twitter @DanneSandin!

Furthermore, I think VGChartz should add a "Like"-button.

Z Wii U will be higher.
Zelda SS sales were pretty bad and Z Wii U is the Zelda people are waiting for years=great graphics,HD,and even core gamers who refused to play SS because of the bad graphics will buy Z Wii u,they will even buy a Wii u for this game(and some will buy it beceause of the lousy 3rd party report)
As Mario Kart/galaxy will be released before the next new zelda the userbase will be big enough.



cunger on 26 January 2013

Games that are more CORE focused will sell better on the Wiiu such as Xeno-whatever, Zelda, Metroid, 3d Mario.. And games more casual focused like Party-Anything, Dance-Anything, 2d Mario, Mario Kart will sell less as good.
