Don't expect Zelda to have legs as the people who wanted it (most of 'em) already got it on release.

Riiiigghhht, because Nintendo games sell quickly then fall off the charts. Nevermind that 13 of the top 20 games in Japan have been on the charts longer than 10 weeks and all of those 13 games are for Nintendo platforms.

Really, do you even think about your statements before you post them?


 Zelda is a core game. It will sell very descently but no chance for legs a'la Mario etc.

Not many games do. That doesn't mean it won't continue to have good sales.

The poster I responded to said the game will have no legs. For most people, having legs means staying on the top of the charts for several weeks.

Casual games stay on the list forever not Zelda. I didn't say is not gonna sell good, it already is, I am saying it won't have long legs.

Do you ever think before attacking me? I'll asnwer for you: no.

I think your definition of long legs is ridiculous. By your standard, almost no game could ever have long legs.

 My definition of long legs is Wii Sports/Play and Nintendogs. A few weeks in the top 20 is good legs but not long legs. I expect Zelda to sell a million but not much more in Japan tops.

Based on that standard, it's highly unlikely that any non-Nintendo game of the current generation will ever have long legs.

Super Robot Wars is this week?...hmm PS2 may go over 20,000 again...I expect as least a boost of a few k...that is the most preordered game of the summer by my sources....

 But Mario is also a core game.  (I sense another "hardcore/casual/nongame" debate looming)
