... so you don't have any counter argument, you just gonna hold your hands to your ears and say ''no! no! no! no!''. I also would like to point at Zombie U the big third party exclusive for the wii U at launch, still crawling to the million mark, it did so bad, Ubisoft pretty much stopped supporting the wii U, and by the way that too is better rated than hyrule warrior.

For me to have a counter argument, you need to have an argument in the first place. It makes no sense whatsoever to say things like "AC and Cod would have sold more with mario/zelda slapped on them". And are you seriously saying that 1 million+ is bad for a low budget new IP that is also a launch title?

But Hyrule Warriors is the first time the west has given a shit about the Warriors series in many years. Simply because of the IP.

Still waiting for a slight price drop before i pick this up! Looks fun though.

Agreed. 

I was only replying to the post which was asking which other Musou games sold 1m+ units worldwide. 

This is the first Musou game where more than 85% of the sales have been from the west. And that's all thanks to the Zelda brand. In fact this game is on track to become the best selling Warriors game in the USA, it's already sold over 400,000 units and will shortly exceed Dynasty Warriors 3 sales with chances high that it'll either match or exceed Dynasty Warriors 4 sales. 

And it's fully deserved, the game is a perfect combination of Zelda and Musou. 

No, No, Yes, Yes, Maybe?

I know it worked wonders for Soul Calibur 2 (it was the best selling version), but the integration needs to be more than just some customes for it to affect sales... a Nintendo character in the roster of Tekken would have done wonders for the game, even if the fans of the console don't like/play a lot of fighting games, an assassin's creed with a green like Zelda cloth + an exclusive master sword weapon, and a simple "kill ganondorf" mission... could move some additional units. But that usually represents more work for the developer/publisher and they want to do the bare minimun for the Wii U edition of the game.

Seriously? All those sold a couple million. Some reaching about 10m...(like AC 3, that got 12m.)

HW hasn't reached 1m yet, just about to.

I can no longer take you seriously for a very, very long time now. 

Huh, where did they do that on the wii U? And you are the one not taking me seriously lol

First what game are you talking about ''And are you seriously saying that 1 million+ is bad for a low budget new IP that is also a launch title?'' Because zombi U isns't at 1million + and was far from having a low budget, and hyrule warrior which we know is above 1 million isn't a launch title. So you got me confuse here.

Is a problem of trust, Nintendo fans don't trust third party games, so they need some kind of push to at least try the game, I know is not the ideal situation but there is nothing much we can do to fix it.

I run a Wii U group on facebook with over 2200 members and they are only looking for Nintendo published titles unless something really extraordinary happens like a major discount, then they play the game and usually like it but they were not willing to buy the game for the full price because they did not consider the title interesting or the port good enough, is a sad and kind of depressing cycle, but also a hard one to break.
