Twilight Princess Sells 1 Million

Speaking with IGN, Nintendo’s Perrin Kaplan revealed that The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess has sold over a million copies in the Americas alone. She didn’t mention European or Japanese sales, which are most likely at 500,000 copies sold, combined. She didn’t mention how many copies the GameCube version sold.

The Wii has sold over 4 million units worldwide, making the sale of Twilight Princess, well, kinda disappointing. The game will probably sell a few million in 2007, and as Joystiq points out, what’s a Wii owner without Twilight Princess?

Im not a zelda fan but how would it suck? I heard alot of great reviews on it. And hence the 1 million? the console only sold like 3 mill man. You think gears of war sucks? it only sold 3 mill with 10 mill consoles sold.

that’s 1 million in the Americas, the Wii has sold 1,5 million in the americas. so 2/3 of wii owners own twilight peincess, and that’s impressive.

Here is my take on it

The Wii has attracted new gamers, and not all new gamers will be interested in Zelda…

therefor, not all people buying the console will buy the game.

I played an old Zelda on GameBoy and loved it, then I played Wind Waker on Cube and loved it, so I bought Twilight Princess on Wii and about 2/3rds into it became completely and utterly sick of it. While Wind Waker felt fresh and open TP feels restricted and crusty with the same formula repeated over and over and over (8 dungeons to work your way through solving pretty much the same puzzles over and again until you get to the final boss which you kill and then get a piece of some artifact).

I felt the same way about the closedness, but I realized that Twilight Princess wasn’t too closed, Wind Waker was too open or at least it feels like that because you’re sailing out on the ocean.
