Not Bad I Guess, :D , Im Not Great With Sales Numbers :D

Squatch834538d ago

Not sure how true this is. It says no third party games have cracked 1 million sales yet.
Im sure Street Fighter 4 among others sold more than that.

It's primary source is VGChartz so I wouldn't put too much stock in this.

klecser4538d ago

No matter what stock you put in VGChartz, its pretty clear that the 3DS has completely turned around. This bodes pretty well for Vita, because as that system matures it appears that there is a still a very vibrant market for dedicated gaming handhelds.

The price was the main issue holding the 3DS back when it launched. Most average consumers especially in this economic environment will not spend $250+ on a hand held console. They will wait until there is a price drop.
Once the early adopters buy the system, sales drop until the price declines.
This you are witnessing with the Vita also.
When the Vita has a price reduction you will see sales increase dramatically the way we are seeing sales increase with the 3DS now.

klecser4537d ago

I agree. Bubble for you.

So much for the 3DS being doomed uh?
I wish analyst/would-be analysts/journalists/fanboys/e tc would stop with their "X is doomed" articles in the first year of the lifecycle. The PS3 had an extremely rough start, yet not only is it still alive, it's doing pretty well, same for the DS (remember when it launched? Some people were predicting the end of Nintendo's handheld division), the Wii, the 3DS is clearly not going anywhere and I highly doubt the Vita will fail; as it has strong developer support and looks like awesome hardware (however, it might need a price drop to really start selling, like the 3DS, time will tell).

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is the anti-Breath of the Wild

Polygon: "To get back to the way Ocarina made us feel, it was necessary to reject almost everything about it."

Ocarina of Time changed my life forever, such a masterpiece

Zeldafan64163d ago

Hard to believe it's 25 years old already.

Cacabunga163d ago

The feeling this game gave me the first time i had my hands on it is indescribable.. i still get the chill from that day..
botw is like a spin off of the series.. it’s fun but with many flaws and the most important which is Zelda formula isn’t there..

FinalFantasyFanatic163d ago

I can't even remember how many times I played through OoT, I finished that game, and collected everything so many times.

Vits163d ago

I generally agree with the author here. However, if I had to point out a single game as the 'anti-Breath of the Wild,' that would be Majora's Mask. Pretty much everything in that game is interconnected, relies on something that the player must have done previously, is timed, and can be considered a puzzle in itself.

gold_drake163d ago

but still considered the best of the seties.

i would have liked botw to be more like ocarina.

franwex163d ago (Edited 163d ago )

25 years from today whatever Zelda is out people would too be looking fondly at Breath of the Wild.

Ah the more simple times of the 2020s.

Zelda: Ocarina of Time - A Legend 25 Years in the Making

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time debuted 25 years ago, forever changing the face of video games and becoming a legend of its own.

Number1TailzFan195d ago

I used a guide to beat part of it but some of the rest myself, still enjoyed it regardless. Too bad they didn't stick with this kind of gameplay for the rest of the series as I would prefer it over what they're doing now.

TheBrainZ195d ago

A definitive moment in video game history. Played it countless times, and Zelda was the best reason to own an N64.

FinalFantasyFanatic195d ago

I played through OoT so many times on the 64, then I bought it on the 3DS before the Eshop shut down. I wish we could have a Zelda collection like we did for Mario, I still can't believe that never happened.
