Why would this give you any reason to believe it would have legs. It's a musou title, and like JRPGs, will be very front loaded.

I never said it'll have legs, and besides depends on wat type of legs we ard talking about! 

HW wont obviously have those amazing legs like 2D Mario/MK have but i think it will do decently outside FW. DK/LoZ debuted at 30k-35k and are both over 100k now. Imo if HW fw sales are 40-50k, i think 120k lifetime is plausible. If fw is 70-80k, then 150k+ (just giving estimates!)

Uhhh.... How do we kno this? Yes majority of games  (musou/jrpgs) are front loaded, and HW likely seems to end up the same way, but thats not guaranteed. Why? Cuz this is the first time we get HW! (a zelda musou)

Edit: Example ⇒ Pokémon Conquest   172k FW   367k LTD

I realized that all games except NSMBU that was a launch title had a higher ratio, even a very good one.

let's add more info (final points)

Samurai Warriors 4 (PS3) - 122pt

Samurai Warriors 4 (PSV) - 26pt

Shin Gundam Musou (PS3) - 126pt

Shin Gundam Musou (PSV) - 24pt

Zelda: A Link to the Past 2 (3DS) - 86pt

Media Create first week sales:

[PS3] Samurai Warriors 4 # (Koei Tecmo) {2014.03.20} (¥7.560) - 120.452

[PSV] Samurai Warriors 4 (Koei Tecmo) {2014.03.20} (¥7.140) - 39.597

[PS3] New Dynasty Warriors: Gundam (Bandai Namco Games) {2013.12.19} (¥7.980) - 126.019

[PSV] New Dynasty Warriors: Gundam (Bandai Namco Games) {2013.12.19} (¥6.980) - 52.667

[3DS] The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds # (Nintendo) {2013.12.26} (¥4.800) - 224.143

Even though i think LoZ games have a better 1:1k ratio, ALBW isnt a fair comparison. It was released on i think the biggest week of the year n japan (so was FF X HD).

That said LoZ OoT 3D did well above the 1:1k ratio. I need to fix up the thread but i did some work here... http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=186259&page=

Most 1st party Nintendo games have such a good performance (of COMG Ratio), while most other games are close to that of 1:1k or below it.

Thats why i look at SSB 3DS, and say its doing extremely well. 400points+, its already the 4th most pre ordered 1st party 3ds game on COMG and its going to surpass AC+Tomodachi and place overall 2nd (before Pokemon OR/AS release!)

A company must satisfy its costumers, it's the most basic rule in liberal economy. Are ImageEpoch's costumers satisfied? No. Are Senran Kagura fans satisfied? We'll see in a few days. Are Platinum Games's costumers satisfied? I guess not. 

If costumers are unhappy about desicions made by businesses they buy stuff from, they have every right to complain or port beg (without of course relying on insults, death threats or stupid things like that). Far from selfish, it's rightful costumer feedback.

Sorry to disappoint you, but I've been in the Bayo2 resistance since the first day :

http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=147603&page=

Hyrule Warriors is doing pretty well from what I'm seeing! Hopefully I'm not going to be too off with my 106k FW prediction!

Believe wat you want to believe with th company satisfying customers, i guess thats all just opinionated.

As for Bayo2, then i pity you. Some of the most selfish things i heard were from bayo2 announcement. If you want to play the game, get a wiiu. Im not going to argue anything bayo2 cuz the people who want it on other systems (for the fact it doesn't belong on wiiu) are very delusional, and most of all ungrateful. I'll take Zelda anyday on Sony/MS if Nintendo abandoned it for good.

TBH im glad the Bayo2 announcement came to be, it shows the true colors of many people (like the idiots who send in death threats, etc to Kamiya or whoever). I get the meltdowns for MH being Nintendo Exclusive, i get many other crazy decisions in the gaming industry, but in Bayo2 case, its just plain retarded -_-   Im sure you kno this but i'll say it again for anybody that doesn't kno this.  No Nintendo = No Bayo2.....
