@Mercury9

Is it filler she. The game brings bad side plots from me1 into the other games. I love Conrad Berber and he's a pretty filler sidequest but the mix of good writing and my Dulcie's bring him through three games and had a satisfying conclusion. And beyond the ending and maybe seeing tali's face where is there lazy writing in me3. That stuff is golden. From character deaths to the final assault on earth. Done get me started on teaming up with past squadmates and the Eden prime dlc.

@LordOtaku

That and western companies sell doc to expand there games while nintendo doesn't do that.

And western games sell a lot after there initial showing. Not as much as nintendo games have you but sales don't just drop dead.

Ans I'm not sure why people are bringing more casuel franchises into a discussion on hardcore holiday titles.

@stealth

But were comapring core franchises that are more similar to one another. And my comparasion was fair as these games hit around the same time period. And the audience buying zelda isn't the same buying wii fit.

@every one else

Alright that was a bad comparsion. But how do you explain gears.

Question how is selling 4 million in a. Couple of months good. Gears of war sold 3 million in a week and skyrim 7 million in one week.

While zelda had sold 3 millionin twwo months. I wouldn't call that good.

(Yeah I know massive budgets, not making x and y and death of AA)

and I consider stuff like dark souls and the witchery different as they aren't looking to be the next big franchise those games are trying to make the brand mmore well known.

You know the big irony in this is. Skyward sword didn't do ghat well but last year was a big revival in fantasy games that was already brewing. Skrim and Dark souls shifted a lot of copies. Kings of amular started string and the witchery 2 has been sold out for a while. Dragon's Dogma is getting a lot of positive buzz and the fable series sales really well. Not only that but this genre has a big female fanbase.

So why did skyward sword flop when other games in the genre are doing well?

Japan doesn't care about zelda (or metroid) and as good as it was wii motion plus was a barrier of entry. And nintendo thought they could launch in November with assassins creed and call of duty among other games. You don't try to go into big lacked month with a title on a system the overall marekt Kant looking at.

Launching in September would have been much better.
