I was actually thinking about this today.  I'm really wondering how this game is going to do.

RIght up until recently I've been pegging it as "It'll appeal to Zelda fans and it'll appeal to Musou fans so it should sell really sell"

But I'm not sure that second part is all that true anymore.  Tecmo Koei have made it pretty obvious that if you're a fan of musou games, you'll need to buy a PSV/PS4 going forward or a PS3 currently.  And so I don't know how many of them would actually invest in a whole console just to play a game with similar gameplay in a franchise that they may or may not have any interest in.  Probably pretty low actually (especially in Japan).

So what you're left with is: how many Zelda fans are interested in playing a Zelda game in a new genre; how many musou fans already own a WiiU and how many WiiU owners are willing to try out a new collaboration like this?  S'gonna be interesting to watch.

Devs are going to have a hard time meeting those expectations. There is no way that game is going to hit 1m on the WiiU.

It will probably gain some good points, and it's going to be funny following it on the thread. But, people shouldn't have high expectations for that one.

I think it has a good chance of hitting it on wiiu despite it having such a low install base. This might just be more than a DW game with zelda painted on it :)

If japan can do a good amount Europe+NoA might pull it off. This game is getting some notice!

It is possible, but rather unlikely. I'm not saying it won't be profitable, just that 1m for that game is probably too much.

Japan will put most of the sales, say ~400k, the rest of the world might add ~300k. I could be wrong tho.
