Summary
A Link to the Future
One of the most storied franchises in history soars to new heights. The Legend of Zelda™: Skyward Sword shakes up the tried-and-true adventure game formula and marks a turning point for the franchise. The introduction of full motion controls enabled by Wii MotionPlus™ technology synchronizes player movements with Link's actions while offering the most intuitive play control of any game in the series to date.
FEATURES:
- The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword boasts the most realistic sword combat of any game to date, turning every encounter into a challenge of both brains and brawn. Wii MotionPlus technology accurately translates the angle of every sword slice, effectively putting Link's blade in the player's hand. Analyzing enemy attack and defense tendencies and counteracting with precise swings of the sword provide a satisfying experience that blends puzzle-solving with a new and distinctly unique combat system.
- Explore a massive, multilayered world that seamlessly blends soaring exploration in a sea of clouds with intense ground-based adventuring that blurs the line between the main world and traditional Zelda dungeons. Link™ soars through the skies on the back of a noble bird and dives beneath the clouds to the continent below in an epic quest that lays the foundation for the events in the critically acclaimed The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.
- Prepare for intense puzzle-solving as only The Legend of Zelda games can deliver. Exploration of the forests, volcanoes and deserts requires players to think on their feet as they solve puzzles, overcome obstacles and escape deadly traps. Once they find their way to each dungeon, they are confronted by even more puzzles guarded by fiendish enemies.
- The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword redefines the traditional Zelda framework and introduces an arsenal of items, upgrades and rewards unlike any game in the franchise to date. The adventure guides players into, out of and back to dungeons and areas they've already completed. Along the way, Link gathers a massive inventory of peculiar items and resources that can be used to upgrade many of his weapons and equipment.

i thought the sales for this game would be higher, deserved more sales

With the eventual select title for this game it should go on to sell a little better, plus it will have the Wii U to sell on. The Wii will not go away for another 2 years at least.

As predicted, it came out with a lot of steam, had the holidays push it but ran into the same issues that Majora's Mask faced (dying console and required add on to play). Sales sitting at 3.24 million is not bad, but it is not good either. It has slowed down to a snails pace right now. Toppling 4 million world wide and 2 million USA will be the last of its two milestones. And I don't even know if the latter is within reach. It's a shame, because the release date really hurt the commercial success of the game. Had it come out when the Wii was surging there is no doubt in my mind that the game could have easily toppled 5 million, with a shot of 6+ million world wide. A game this good deserved better.

@AOK Games - No, a lot of gamers have sold their Wii, and stated they will not buy another Wii just for one game, so the whole "Zelda fans would already have a Wii" is incorrect. Also, TP being released as a launch title would give it a boost in having higher sales quicker, not lower sales. You have games as launch titles with consoles because that helps boosts sales. SS is released towards the end of the product life cycle, so there are reasons why sales would dip. And even then, 3.52 million total is GOOD still for just a few months.
