Topic: Hyrule Warriors Worldwide Shipments Surpass One Million

Considering Wii U's install base, that's not too shabby.

Hyrule Warriors, the Wii U exclusive hack-and-slash action game from Koei Tecmo, has shipped over one million units worldwide.

It's important to note that this figure is in regard to shipments to retailers, not sold through to consumers. Still, over one million is nothing to scoff at, especially when considering how small Wii U's install base currently is.

We were quite impressed with Hyrule Warriors when it launched last year. You can read our review here.

How long until Microsoft tries to do it's own Musou game?

[Triforce Hermit]

Halo Warriors. Its like Firefight except its not.

[NWR_insanolord]

Gears of Warriors.

How many unit has Xbone sold? I'm sure the Wii U's close to it if not better.

11 million?

12.5m shipped to stores. And as long as they keep price dumping the thing, that's only going up.

After 5 years of Wii SD blue ocean games, (Galaxy excluded) N goes nuts and makes arguably the best versions of their games in HD aimed at hardcore gamers (NSMB, 3D World, Pikmin, Smash, Bayo etc) and the Wii U is still floundering. I'm in heaven, but apparently most of the rest of the world doesn't give a crap, I don't want to live anymore  .
If N goes under, that's it, I'm done, i'll just play Super, Prime, Zero, 1000 Year Door, ALL TEH ZELDA and Yoshi's Island and Galaxy 1 and 2 on a 4 year repeating loop. DONE.

I am sorry but just being HD does not make any of those games anymore appealing to the hardcore crowd. None of those games ever appealed to the hardcore gamer crowd period they appeal to the causal gamer, the Nintendo gamer, and the retro gamer. Take a wild guess which one I am.

Even with the lower Wii U hardware sales they're still profiting off the system.  Combined with the fact they still have billions with no debts, they're not even close to being in any kind of real danger.

Am I correct in assuming that 1 million shipped does NOT include digital download sales? So my purchase isn't included in that number?
Therefore maybe they actually have sold 1 million just not 1 million discs?

"In HD" is something we wanted 9 years ago.  Today it's expected.  This is like hyping up a color tv in the 80's.
