Okay, now you may say again "This guy is delusioned" or something like that, but let's stick to the facts:

1. The game sold fantastically on GCN/Wii. If I remember correctly then it even managed to outsell OoT.

2. It has an amiibo that is also compatible with Zelda Wii U.

3. vgchartz says that it is currently at 493.000 pre-orders in the US alone.

 

Just think about it. The pre-order number is probably not correct, but if it's somewhere close to it, then the game has a good chance to sell 500.000 units First-Week in the US. If it sells 500.000 First-Week in the US, then it has a good chance to sell 1 million First-Week worldwide. And if it sells 1 million First-Week worldwide, then it has pretty good chance to sell 2 million lifetime.

There's also the amiibo. Some people may want to get it for Zelda Wii U.

I hope it doesn't, which is why it probably will.

I'm guessing around 1.5 mil.

I'm jumping on some big numbers for this game. I don't think the preorder number is right but I can't see it being THAT far off. 350K at the lowest. I'm thinking 750-800K first week in the US. somewhere around 2.5 million upwards of 3 million lifetime. That wolf link amiibo is definitely going to help.

2 millino is not bold at all.I actually think it can reach that number relatively easy.Now 3 million?Thats another story



My (locked) thread about how difficulty should be a decision for the developers, not the gamers.

It might manage to sell that much, but I'd say around 1.5M.



danielrdp on 29 January 2016

I don't think it will sell that much. According to VGchartz Majora's mask 3D sold worldwide 2.16 million, but one quarter of the total was sold in Japan. Twilight HD will flop in Japan. Zelda isn't big there.



Skullwaker on 29 January 2016

It's possible. Wind Waker HD sold 1.62m as of the last financial report by Nintendo, and that game isn't as popular as Twilight Princess.

I think the major thing holding this game back is that its legs could be cut by the Wii U's successor launching relatively soon. It just won't have as much time on the market as WWHD. I do think it's a shoe-in to be in the 1-2m range though.

I agree. I think TPHD will sell just over 2 million copies lifetime.

LOL how can be < 0.5m if the pre-orders are 490,000?
