Wow, how can people still use this as some sort of point or counter argument. It was $20 bundle with a periphal/accessory. That's why it sold, it's like the Wii Play Wiimote bundle.

I don't think a game with Zelda slapped on it eventually selling 1 million LT (not overnight), is expecting too much of anything at all.

And how is Nintendo securing another exclusive for their system "desperate"? It needs games, would you rather they didn't bother trying to GET any outside games put on it at all? Or would you rather Wii U just bombed completely and died off, so that you can say "told ya" or whatever it is you're looking to say? Me personally, I want to see the thing last a few years, and I want as many games to come out on the hardware as possible. But hey, I only bought the thing, I guess expecting some return on my investment is expecting too much.

Platinum Games is more popular than Tacmo Koei and the worst part is both of their games are exclusive to a Nintendo console. Its like trying to create a new fanbase. It will most likely do 400k-500k first year.

It will. I will help with one copy of the game :D

All that matters is that this will sell in Japan/China etc. I think the sales will surprise many people. In the West it's more of a gamble, but I see it doing well here also. Hack N Slash with enough content, story, and gameplay mechanics has always been fun to me.

Go Hyrule Warriors!

This game will score a 6 on average, 6.5 if it's lucky. Really don't get why they let them use link for this.

More than anything, I think this is an effort to make Zelda relevant in Japan again...
You have to admit that it's not that bad of a tactic by any means...

It will sell 3+ million copies.
