The game will speak for itself. Like I said before if the game turns out better then OOT word will get out.Hunter D said:Like gears? No. MS has been holding public events for gears the last couple of months. I don't remember nintendo doing the same thing with zelda.
It's barely multiplatform... I wouldn't expect too much on Cube sales, and if there wasn't a Cube version I imagine many of the Cube sales would go to Wii.pr0cs said:you're mistaken.
That being said Zelda will sell more copies due to multiplatform and the fact the majority of the Wii launch titles are pretty crappy (ala "slim pickings" comment)

What?Benadryl Hitman said:And hasn't Nintendo been pimping Zelda, at like every damn event they have? From the GDC to the E3 to the TGS and to the Fusion tour? I think Nintendo has shown Zelda at way more public events then Gears of War.
What does it matter if the events weren't strictly for Zelda? Nintendo pretty much has made Zelda the centerpiece for every event or show they have attended. And people have been trying it out for the past 2 years or more.Hunter D said:The events you listed aren't held just for zelda, they are for games in general.
Speaking to who, people who already own the Xbox360 or keep of with games on the internet? I bet if I even mention Gears of War to my quasi-gaming friends they will have no idea what game I am referring to.More people have played GOW which has generated word of mouth for the game.
GOW is already speaking for itself.
skinnyrattler said:It's hard to say. For many people, they can see Wii selling 4-5 million units with 3 million copies of Zelda by Spring 2007. Does anybody think Gears will sell 3 million by that time? Seriously? Japan is a bust and Europe is slipping from the 360. 3 million, mostly from the US, in 3-4 months? When it took almost a year for the 360 to sell 3 million hardware units?

Zelda will sell about 3 million total.
Allen said:Madden.
Im shocked that anyone believes Gears will outsell Zelda. Japan will determine sales this holiday season, and newsflash: Gears wont sell in Japan.
Leatherface said:Question: What is the 360's installed base in the US right now? Also how many units are Nintendo launching with? I'm betting Zelda will be a 1to1 ratio for the most part.
Battersea Power Station said:Nintendo is dumb for not having a massive marketing campaign for Zelda. First Zelda launch game, biggest Zelda game ever, highest productions Zelda game ever, popular-looking style -- yes, it will sell itself pretty well. But if they really want it to be a phenomenon, they should've been running crazy ads with posters everywhere and all that stuff.

skinnyrattler said:Ha, most who will buy launch Wiis are considered hardcore and already know about Zelda. It is the best game in the lineup and you can depend that it will be recommended to all buyers who don't know what to get. It has turned into the defining game of the launch. It doesn't need a massive marketing campaign in TV/print. It already has word of mouth and is gonna be massive. Most games wish they had this type of hype.
DeathCabCute said:One thing we can count on. Gears is going to push the sales of 360's way up this christmas, giving the system a huge head start over ps3 that will have to hope it can catch up next year. With mgs4 and ffXIII it has a good shot but with that price point i'm not so sure. Gears may be the game that wins the console wars for ms this generation in the long run. I am just speculating of course but there is that possibility.
psycho_snake said:Zelda will sell more. When wii is launched, zelda will be the game that just about everyone will be interested in because it is such a well known title and because its the best lauch game available. Gears of wars wont be able to outsell zelda because it doesnt have the brand recognition and Zelda has a huge advantage because its a launch title.
Gears of war will sell very well, but the sales wont come close to Zelda: TP's sales.
Eh? I think Zelda won't be defining the Wii, the game that will define the Wii will need to use its unique features much more and in better, unique and extensive ways.gamergirly said:Zelda:TP has a strong chance of what Halo did for the original Xbox. A launch game(that's not even solely for Wii) that defines the console for its entire generation that sells millions by the end.

In terms of Wii control, probably (hopefully).gamergirly said:Better games will come along, but Zelda:TP might be the game that drives the system
