SOFTWARE OF AMERICA AND EUROPE ?

Zelda, Mario, Mario Kart and Smash Bros. The flagship titles of Nintendo consoles and Zelda sells the least of them. Where was I wrong again? Your post only underlines the point I was making, we can't expect a new Zelda to have the same impact as Galaxy or SSBB.

You said that Zelda was among the least sellign Nintendo 1st party titles. It isn't. It stomps the Hell out of Metroid, Pikmin, Kirby, Starfox, Mario Party, Punch-Out!!, Paper Mario, Animal Crossing, Wario Land, WarioWare, all of the Mario sports titles, console Pokemon games, Donkey Kong....

You see? It's not even close to being among the least-selling.

I totally disagree

next year is a 3D Mario, Halo, Zelda, Final Fantasy & gran Turismo year

IF the market isn't up in 2010 its awful!

Perhaps I was somewhat inclear; I meant flagship titles. I only think its unfair to compare it to and expect it to beat out Galaxy, Mario Kart Wii and SSBB, is all.

Khuutra; how do you feel about the MS and Sony motion controllers by the way?

In that case you are right, I don't expect the impact to be comparable to those titles.

They look.... pretty neat? Natal moreso than the Gem, the latter of which feels very "me-too". I don't know if I will end up buying Natal, though.

Twilight Princess sold nearly 7 million. How many games manage that?

exactly

not to mention its the first zelda of this gen

edit: ack, though I was in the NPD thread!

unfortunately it fell short by a bit!
