So the Big Question, Can the Next LoZ Game Sell Close to 10mil Units Across Both platforms? Seems So outta reach, especially with how previous games all selling all between 3mil-7mil per entry (console/HH)... but maybe this time it actually could?

Lets see if we can break it down.... (why it can/cannot)

~Best Selling LoZ Games are OoT/TP. OoT sold 7mil+, TP for both wii/gcn sold 8mil+ combined.

~LoZ TP had "Wii" helping it, which is why it sold so well (launch title)

~If on NX, it means it'll mean multiplat which helps it from just selling on the tiny wiiu userbase

~If its a launch title, that already helps it out.

~TBH i think this LoZ has the most hype out of any LoZ game, even more than TP. Maybe because like the NX, we dunno $*** about it lol.

~If NX is indeed HH as well and LoZ U is playable on it, Japanese will be a huge factor for the games sales. Fanbase is there, going by renakes on 3ds sales.

~SS only sold around 4mil?  :'-(

~ Personally i think 5mil+ is guaranteed, after that its any1 guess......

THOUGHTS???

If Twilight Princess couldn't reach it with the Wii's massive boost, I doubt it. Two millions on WiiU, and a bigger amount than that on the NX (depending on how well it does). But I'd love to be proven wrong.

I'm 100% sure it will if it isn't bad and the NX is what I know it will be.

I'm going to say no. Zelda is popular for sure but not 10M seller popular.

Japan doesn't care about Zelda & that makes it much harder to reach it. (unless the HH thing is actually true but even then, it's not big there)

I'm going to say 6-7mil is a safer guess

Ocarina of times is the bigger Zelda game ever, which sold 11 million LT.
Twilight princess is the second, will eventually break 10 million soon with the Wii U version.

I think will depend if this game will get a remake or a remastered after 7-10 years of release.

But yeah, it's gonna be fucking huge. 7-8 million withouth remake Wii U + NX.

No. I can see it selling *somewhere* around 2 million copies on Wii U (pretty impressive for Wii U standards, and considering it's coming when everyone's leaving the platform). I can't see the NX being so successful that NX version completely obliterates everything and everyone.

who knows how many it will sell when parts of it go mobile

I don't really see this game getting anywhere near ten million units sold, to be honest. I see it selling five at most, being optimistic; and around three being realistic.

Yes.

I feel it in my bones. If the NX is a fair success (30m) I think the game will pass 10m

3m on the Wii U with its fairly fresh Userbase for a console about to be replaced.
7m on the NX with some of the 3m from Wii U repurchasing the title later. Unlike twilight Princess on Wii, I think Zelda NX will actually be fairly optimised for the hardware (more then resolution).

The past cannot always be used to predict the future, but I just feel this Zelda game will be very big. Part of that may due to the possibility of it being the closest thing to a technologically modern Zelda since Windwaker, minus the polarising artstyle.
