All things considered it's very good. Now we just need to wait and see if the sales were caused by people desperate for a new game, or if it shows an upward trend for the Wii U.

u have a good arguement but it should be good. It surpassed Earthbound (it is ranked 8th or 9th now) which had goood sales but never given out exact numbers and LoZ surpassed every single 30 cent promotion nes/snes title with the exception of Super Metroid which is number 1. Definetly good sales but o way to see wat they are. It can range from 30k-80k but we dont kno

Digital is a pain to deal with. I imagine professionals have access to this kind of data, but for the rest of us we make due with assumptions and guesswork. I'm hopeful that it'll eventually work its way down, once digital sees wider acceptance.

Regarding WWHD, I seriously think the next two weeks will be key. I think next week will be the test for the game itself, but where the hardware settles just before the holidays will be an important factor for the coming months.



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

Ocarina of Time 3D sold 150K week one. Considering that the game has been available for two weeks digitally and that the bundle is digital, these are pretty great sales.


Quite impressive, seeing as OOT was a much bigger success than WW back in the day.
I wonder if WWHD will be able to compare to OOT3D amazing legs.

For a HD remake of a game two generations and a decade old, this is good numbers.

I just bought mine! Wind Waker is definitely better playing it as a remake - much more fun than I can remember!

The real test will begin at second week to how well it should sustain the wii u sales until super mario 3D world hits.

zelda isn't the only game releasing untill 3d world.

Could´ve been better, in my opinion

Anyway, 10 % attach rate is pretty good. Besides, a LOT of WiiU owners bought it digital instead of waiting for the physical media. I wonder how many did that.
