Are you serious?

You know very well that a big portion of Wii's does not care about core games. The Wii U's percentage of core gamers is a lot higher. But again, you know that.

Yeah, my original prediction is 500K for AC, but you have said that AC IV don't passed NEVER 250K.

So, What are you afraid?

You really believe that AC 4 don't passed 250K lifetime?

Ok, i said that will passed only in 2014...

Come on, make this beth, much you're sure of your predictions no?

You win if AC IV don't passed 250K this year.

I'm picking it up. It is one of the only things I plan on getting on the WiiU for the rest of the year.

Dynasty warriors never really sold well in the west but with Zelda in there. It just might especially due to the fact that we are not burned out on dynasty warrior games. I think it will do well, not fantastic and be like 10 million copies but I am going to guess somewhere in the 1-2 million range.

It a spin off Zelda so it not need to sell like main one to consider the game sold well.But it seem many will be disappointed by it sale since in the COMG thread people waiting the game to enter in the chart every day

It was also only $20. The game was pack-in, not actual software.

Nintendo has never done anything quite like this with one of their franchises, it's an experiment of sorts. I see people trying to use statistics of previously released games to set some sort of a bar or measuring stick but it's not going to work like that. Look at the facts.

The Wii U's install base is around 6.6 million. If it continues selling around 60,000 units a week, it'll be around 7 million units when Hyrule Warriors hits. This isn't Wii numbers, but you have to take into account the type of customers that own the Wii U. These are NOT casuals, these are NINTENDO fans. So even if the install base isn't 100 million, Hyrule Warriors will still sell relatively well because of who it's being aimed at.

Hyrule Warriors release date is fantastic. It'll release a few months after the Wii U's biggest franchise (Mario Kart) has been pushing consoles and the new install base is hungry for games. Also, it's close enough to the holidays get more sustained sales down the line when the Wii U gets the holiday bump. This game couldn't have better timing.

For a large majority of Nintendo Fans, this game is NEW and exciting. There are Zelda fans that have never played a Dynasty Warrior's game and seeing the Zelda formula shaken up and looking more action packed is enticing. Also I'm sure some Dynasty Warriors fans will be intrigued by the LOZ mythos being injected into their favorite franchise.

I don't see a scenario where this game sells under 1 million units.

a) Maybe selling 500k is more than what they need to make a few million dollars in profit
b) Nintendo die-hard fans still exist and buy anything with the Nintendo or Zelda sticker on it

I predict 200k minimum for Hyrule Warriors. I also think it will suck just as much as other "Warriors" games, except the Nintendo die-hards that never cared for or played those "Warriors" games will be defending it as a great game, and will still never play any of the other "Warriors" games.

Doesn't matter. A big portion of the PS3's library was core gamers. Dynasty Warriors, to my knowledge, never hit 1m barring One Piece. And those same hardcore fans know the difference between a Zelda game and DW game.

Yeah, I absolutely agree, but this is not Mario Sunshine. This is a spinoff based off of an unpopular hack n slash game sales wise. The GCN Fire Emblem sold about 500K. I can see it selling that much.
