I'm still a bit surprised zelda sold so well. I know it's a big franchise but after more than a year of all that stupid "OMG, teh new zelda-look is teh kiddie!!!"-talk I expected disappointing sales actually. The question remains though how WW will fare in april. Usually Nintendos games sell well in the first two weeks mostly because almost every cube-owner/Nintendo-fan immediately rushes out to buy them. But then sales slow down rather quickly (we've seen it with Metroid Prime). I wonder how zelda affected hardware sales since its release...
Still, it's good to see Nintendo going strong again. GBA SP seems to be doing great too. Nintendo should follow a similar approach (design-wise) with their next-gen console 'cause people seem to like it

Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire change a lot, and bring a lot of new stuff to the table - enough that they're totally incompatible with the older versions, and that isn't just because they don't have all of the critters from the old ones. If that was the problem, GameFreak would have surely found a way around it, like only allowing the link under certain conditions (much like the time capsule from Gold/Silver).

Not to the casual users imho, they usually choose style over substance (Max Payne is probably the best example. I can't believe it's still in the top 30
). I truly believed that zelda would sell less than stellar because it's definitely not what the casual gamer would call stylish. I'm glad that this doesn't seem to be the case (though we still have to see if zelda is able to remain in the top 10 over a longer period).CeiserSöze said:jvd said:

Well nintendo isn't about the casual gamers. Those people own other systems .
Judging how long zelda stays in the top 10 isn't a good way to go about this . You should compare how many gamecubes there are and how many zeldas are sold . If zelda sells half as many as there are gamecube tittles then it was a huge success. Considering installed bases zelda doesn't have much of a head room to stay on the top ten list long compared to a game on the ps2. It be akin to comparing an art house movie with a summer blockbuster. Just not very fair at all .

There´s no need for words for this kind of idiocy.
OoT sold around 7 million copies worldwide, regardless of installed base (which, if I remember correctly wasn´t at the time not too different than GCN´s current 10 million installed base). WW certainly has big shoes to fill, the installed base doesn´t matter, the game historically has been a multimillion seller, and has always boosted hardware sales. F-anboy spinning and twisting will not change history.
