No one has said that Zelda hasn't sold much in the last 20 years, but per game they don't sell extraordinary.

This will do 3 - 5 million if it debuts with NX max. Which isn't "amazing". It's sales will be passable. Not a flop, not enough to be considered amazing.

And considering Sony don't beat a dead horse, it's not surprising. Sony has had some terrific sellers over the years, but still try something new. Considering Splatoon was Nintendo's big new IP speaks volumes about where they are heading.

Mario 3D World is a perfect example of Nintendo needing to take a hiatus and actually come up with something good.
It's nothing extraordinary and isn't peaking interest, as are most of Nintendos games.

Recycling 3DS games for a home console realease? Tragic,

5 million isn't "incredible" or "impressive".

It's passable for a AAA game and for a game that had a huge portion of E3 dedicated to it.
Which is exactly what I said.

This game won't flop, it won't do impressive numbers either. Passable.
Which is why being the most talked about at E3, doesn't indicate people are actually talking about the game because they want to buy it. People are talking about Nintendo in general and Zelda comes into that this time around.

Nintendo did it again!

Only one XBox One game has hit 3M copies and 0 PS4 games have hit 3M copies.

The Wii U has a much smaller install base and the NX has none. How would a game outselling every single PS4/X1 game be a disappointment?

I don't think this will outsell Splatoon on the Wii U, probably with NX sales.

This. Nintendo has the biggest 1st party game this gen
