For those saying its a new game compared to the two HD remakes that precede it, what about ALttP beating out the all new MC on GBA?  Or OoT3D selling more than ALBW? They still back this trend up.

A Link Between Worlds is, yet another, a ALLP remaster, isn't it? That's what I think Nintendo's been advertising it. Remakes seem to sell better than remasters, as remakes are less fucked up.

No way. I will sell better than SS if it's released on both Wii U/NX, and that's almost a given at this point.



Bet with Teeqoz for 2 weeks of avatar and sig control that Super Mario Odyssey would ship more than 7m on its first 2 months. The game shipped 9.07m, so I won

Maybe your first and second release pattern does hold true but I'd consider Zelda U to be the first Zelda title on the console since WWHD and TPHD are remasters.



Signature goes here!

No, because The Wind Waker HD isn't a new Zelda game, is a remake..

OoT 3D and MM 3D sold pretty well too, so I'm sure TP HD will do just fine

No, because it'll launch with a new console.

If the next Zelda is in fact a dual-gen title, then there's actually a small chance that this trend will continue if you're only counting sales on a single platform. Heh, it'd be hilarious if it did. That would sure as hell make a believer out of me.

It's guaranteed 5m + on Wii U. Since the wii u successor is most likely backwards compatible, It can potentially be the best selling Zelda ever.



Volterra_90 on 14 January 2016

I think it will sold 4M+ at least, so I won't call that a flop. It will sell way more than WWHD or TPHD, that's for sure.

It will probably be released for two systems, one of them as a launch title. Plus, it's the most hyped WiiU game since Smash and Splatoon, so the public's interest is there. Plus, it's a whole new Zelda, and the first original Zelda the WiiU gets. It won't flop by any means.

Couldn't said it better myself.

Even if Zelda U is Wii U only game, there is no chanche that new Zelda game, first HD, true open with biggest world ever Zelda, that is very hyped and probably biggest Nintendo game till date, will sell less than Zelda HD port from GC.
