Truthfully? Gut feeling. I beat the game yesterday. Maybe I'm just too excited, but I think that it's going to do really well.Xeke said:

NSMB is a different style of game from Mario Sunshine though, also on a platform that had like a 10+ million userbase already.
I think TP will definitely outsell Wind Waker in Japan though. But not like a 4:1 ratio like NSMB has done to Mario Sunshine or anything like that.

its on ds .... even kirby will easyly surpass 500k on ds... and the new celda on ds will u make heavy use on the dualscreen and touchscreen... so 1mio is more than possible in japan within 1 year....
I didn't say TP will outsell TWW by a ratio of 4:1 but I think saying TWW sold less than 1m units on the weakest Nintendo console ever (with an installed base of 4m units) is a reason that Zelda lost its popularity in Japan is completely wrong.soundwave05 said:
And I'm ready to bet TP will sell more than 1.5m units LTD.

Maybe 450,000 but 1 million seems unlikely. Zelda isnt the powerhouse in Japan it used to be

While this may be true, NSMB surprised the shit out of me when it passed 3 million. It's got a chance.gamergirly said:

Oh, and about Twilight Princess. If I where to believe ioi's site, Wind Waker did 0.86 million in Japan on a "flopped" console with a userbase of only 4 million. That kind of attach rate is pretty high if you ask me, certainly doesn't qualify as "Zelda's populairity is decreasing" or something in my book. For example, FF XII did 2.3+ million on a userbase of almost 20 million Japanese PS2's. Is FF now not a populair franchise because it "only" did those numbers compared to their big userbase?

True. There's a much different feel about Zelda for Wii then Zelda for GC
gamergirly said:
It was never a powerhouse in Japan, it's highpoiint was obviously Ocarina, but there's only been 1 console Zelda since and it was controversial and released on the GameCube which barely registered at the best of times in Japan.
Given the excitement around the Wii launch i think TP will do 1 m easily within its lifetime

to the gaf population living in japan:
how would you descrive the wii perception over there? does it seem similar to the DS craze? how does it fare against the PS3 hype?
im just curios. by teh by, ZTP IS imo indeed very different from WW. Hardcore gamers know it si basically at core a GC game, but for the rest of the world this is a Wii launch title. And a HUGE franchise at that. Launch titles always historically sell incredibly well all throughout a consoles lifespan. so i believe it will easily surpass WW numbers in japan.
well see i guess.

Compromise: Majora's Mask is a main Zelda game, it's just a sidestory to the main series.

Hey, even I've been quoted:
"Man...poor Japanese, they hav to line-up like every week now for the latest new DS releases, whether it's SW or HW.It's like Nintendo has put a spell on every gamer (and now non-gamers) in Japan...!" 「日本人は可哀相だな。ソフトでもハードでも、DSで何か出るたびに彼らは毎週行列を作る。まるで任天堂が日本人ゲーマー(今や普通の連中にも

According to Rambling Man, tie ratio is 2.5-3.
Hardware buyers were split between core users buying Zelda, and another Wii-type game (Sports/Hajimete/Odoru), and casual users buying Tennis and wanting an extra controller so picking up Hajimete.
So, all-in-all, it looks like Sports/Hajimete will come out on top, but Zelda shouldn't be too far behind. The launch even makes the DS launch look like a joke (that had a tie ratio a little above 1).
