Counterpoint: Ask random old gamer to list his top 5 games. Chances are at least two will be zelda games.

That's not a counterpoint. More serious gamers have always loved Zelda and the series has always sold well amongst that audience.

But this game (and Breath of the Wild) is selling above and beyond previous entries because it's such a great game that its appeal reaches well beyond Zelda's traditional audience.
