Um, yeah. About that.

LOL metacritic means nothing in the grand scheme of things. It is sales and profits that shall determine which franchise wins and so far call of duty is breaking that record and not zelda so deal with it. If it were that good then why did it not get bought by alot non zelda fans.


I'm with fats here. I'm surprised corporate reviews are still taken seriously, especially since it's common knowledge that reviewers are bribed and guided. 

Woah are you even a nintendo fan ?

USA = 45k

Why so low?


Well it's an unpopular game on an unpopular console. And in EU an even more unpopular console with an even more unpopular game. 

Its not an unpopular game, Iit sold 4.6m which is the same as LttP which is considered by mqny to be the best game in the series and was on a console with 2.5x the install base.

Actually it has sold 7 million together with the GBA remake and zelda was mostly in it's infancy at the time.

Just to let you know, the SNES had less consoles sold than the NES.

Lol. Sometimes, I suppose ; )

seriously I'm definitely a Nintendo fan. But not a Nintendo fan-atic. And I don't blindly sign off on decisions based on the name on the plastic. 



Bet between Slimbeast and Arius Dion about Wii sales 2009:


If the Wii sells less than 20 million in 2009 (as defined by VGC sales between week ending 3d Jan 2009 to week ending 4th Jan 2010) Slimebeast wins and get to control Arius Dion's sig for 1 month.

If the Wii sells more than 20 million in 2009 (as defined above) Arius Dion wins and gets to control Slimebeast's sig for 1 month.

So do you follow sean's blog at all ? He's right on alot of issues and he knows nintendo and the crowd more than we do.

:O 

A level headed nintendo fan stressing unpopularity more than me ? That's something I don't see very often now is it ? 

But seriously why that low ? Not even I think it will sell THAT LOW and i'm practically on the same page as sean malstrom on this whole issue of the wii u. 

To grab attention ; p it is low, but WW almost destroyed the series (Aounuma's words, not mine)I don't know why some think its popularity rose in the last decade. Generally the vibe I get from this remake is 'why'

It basically means blue ocean nintendo > red ocean nintendo. It's also one of the factors as to why link to the past sold less than the original NES zelda's.
