But let's see here. You neglect the fact that while Skyward Sword sold less than Fable 3, Fable 3 was released around the height of 360 popularity and SS was released on a pretty much dead console

Oh wow. Wii was dead - because Nintendo would not release any game for it. And they released fricking ZELDA! Run to the store and buy it!

Install base on the Wii also much bigger.

Otakumegane said:

and OoT3D was released on 3DS a couple months back.


Totally diffrent game on different console. No any similarities with NSMBU. Also it is - BEST GAME OF ALL TIME for Christ sake. Run to the store and buy it!

Sword is also something I'd call one of the Zelda "black sheeps". Some people liked it, some people hated it. Motion controls weren't accepted by everyone. Reminds me of something....Fable:The Journey? And that sold a lot worse.

It is main zelda game in 5 years. Like it or not, if you are Zelda fan - you will buy it. And Fable Journey example - massive fail. To buy it you must have Kinect and only 20m users buy it - mainly casual. So yeah - massive fail.

Otakumegane said:

I actually don't know what Fable is.

 Fable:The Journey? And that sold a lot worse. I'd say that even killed the franchise for some.

You are say you know nothing abou Fable, do you?

Otakumegane said:

if you want to assess the value of the Zelda IP in terms of Sales you should be looking at Twilight Princess. It's the traditional "Zelda" game. Much like you're using Fable 3 instead of Fable:The Journey.

Z:TW was lunch title with gimmicky motion controls - yet not even 10m sales.

 

Otakumegane said:

In fact, I'm willing to bet that the next mainline Zelda title will outsell the next main Fable title. 

Z:WW HD - 2m in 2 years max.

New Zelda - 4m in 2 years max.

So yes Zelda is bigger although Fable is a big seller as well.

Only Zelda games what sold more than Fable - NES, N64, DS, Lanch Wii game. So...

You are mean WAS bigger than Fable? Until Z:SS or Z:OoT(3DS) will reach 5m - Zelda officially smaller than Fable.

Also, when in your estimation they reach this numbers?

Last 4 Zelda titles is an average of 4.6m.

Now I was nice and didn't include Fable Journey but the last 3 Fables (1,2,3)  Averaged 3.9.

So once again Zelda is bigger.  The only thing you can say about Fable is that Fable III outsold Skyward Sword.   Beyond that you can't really say too much.

Ahhhhhhhhhhh!
Why are you doing this, why you are getting average sales of XBox and Xbox 360 fable games and 4 zelda games? WHY?

 

 We are living today, not int NES era or something. In your twisted logic, Sonic to the present game - one of the biggest franchaises (6m megadrive sales cannot lie).

A better way would be to average the sales of both zeldas on wii and both fables on 360. U could even look at the non mainline games (crossbow training/fable:journey). In both cases u have zelda selling more



When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.

Fine fine, 
 
Wii Zelda averages out to be 5.2m and Fable X360 averages out to 4.51m

Once again Zelda comes out on top.  As i said before.  Fable III outsold Skyward Sword but beyond that Zelda has been bigger.

Are you even reading my posts or just talking to yourself?
Based on your quotation - talking to yourself.

Also, i didnt see answer, WHY YOU GET AVERAGE SALES BETWEEN FEW TITLES AND COMPARE THEM.
This is pointless.

I have been listening to you but you are ignoring that Fable has yet to reach the console versions of Zelda.  Not only that but a remake of a 14 year old game can sell 3m.  I dont think a remake of fable could sell 3m.

The advantage that the Wii Zelda games have is that they don't have much competition - the Wii's releases were so few and far between that people would just go on and buy what they can.

Fable cannot reach sales of NES Zelda game => Fable smaller franchise. Flawless logic. And you still doesnt tell me, WHAT THE POINT OF AVERAGE SALES NUMBERS, HOW THEY ARE SHOWS FRANCHISE POPULARITY?

Remake of the BEST VIDEOGAME IN HISTORY.
