You know what I am gonna hate about this release... The god damn North American Box Art...

If you look at the japanese one.. Its soo colorful and looks soo nice but the NA one is "gold" which I understand is a Nintendo tradition but come on...

how does the OP know that OOT 3d wasnt mostly bought by people who already played the game?

Anyway. 2.5LT thats generous, you must be on something if you think it will push a lot of consoles. OOT didnt even do that for 3ds(i hold the price cut did it) and OOT is more popular than WW, 3DS is more popular than WIi U and it doesnt seem like it will get a price cut.

2-2.5 million

Agreed! Lucky Japs!

That sold way better then any Killzone game. I have to admit this game looks good.

4.6m is pretty damn good... more than 1/5 GC owners picked up the game the first time around.

By comparison TP on the Wii sold 6.8m... on a 100m selling console. And SS has barely managed half of TP's sales.

You know I was always wondering why no one ever used the dollar sign for $ony, but then I realized they have no money so it would be pointless.

Because I know everything.

 

But sales was just part of the point of this thread.

The main point is whether or not this game will get the attention it deserved. I guess there are more people than I thought who did not think it was that great. But I swear there were many who says this is one of the best. Many missed the game for the reasons in the OP.


i think it really got the attention it deserved, for one it didnt flop, for two look how much it sold on a system with about 20mil install base. That lets me know something ive always suspected, Zelda games are games people buy BECAUSE they have the console, but wont really buy a console JUST for it. and for 3 IMHO it wasnt all that, it wasnt bad, but it wasnt as good as OOT or even MM. Hell TP is better IMO

It already has far more sales and attention than it deserves.



Mythmaker1 on 13 August 2013

1-1.5 million liftetime, and that's being generous, IMO. Whether that's the kind of attention it deserves is more than I can say.

There's not much reason to expect it will sell remotely as well as OoT3D did, and quite a few reasons to expect it won't.



I believe in honesty, civility, generosity, practicality, and impartiality.

S.Peelman on 13 August 2013

No, it won't. Or actually yes, because those already were the sales it deserved.

Sales are good anyway, not many games get as high as 4.6m. It's just one of the weaker entries in the series. Now compared to any other game it's of course awesome, so I'll still get it day 1. It won't beat Ocarina of Time's 3DS sales, OoT is just a lot more popular, a much better game and is much better known. I think it'll end up between 2m and 2.5m, which will take a while too. It won't boost the WiiU to great heights, but it will boost it a little for a short while.
