Brazil said:That's saying a lot, man. The last Zelda game to break 1 million in Japan was... OoT.
Well, it has the benefit of being a launch window title on a system hurting for software. Also, the last two portable Zelda's weren't that far away from 1 million. 900k and 725k respectively. There is a market for Zelda, and this is a remake of what is generally considered the best in the series.
If it doesn't hit 1M, I still think 500k is locked. The Super Mario 64DS port hit 1.1M compared to 1.6M for the original title. Ports/Remakes can sell big numbers. And compared to other games that are near release, I think OOT has the best chance of being a big seller.
