Yoichi Erikawa, the president of Tecmo Koei has expressed that he has high hopes that Hyrule Warriors will be able to sell more than 1 million copies worldwide.
In an interview with Nikkei Trendy, Mr. Erikawa discussed the company’s financial year, and its upcoming IP’s. When discussing the upcoming Hyrule Warriors title, he said that the popularity of both the Zelda and Warrior franchises should enable the game to sell at least a million copies across the globe.
In gaming, this is a first-time collaboration. As a new entry in the Warriors series, we plan to release the game Hyrule Warriors in collaboration with Nintendo in the summer of this year. In addition to our Warriors series fan base, Nintendo’s The Legend of Zelda is also a very popular series with a large fan base, and I think it will become a great new market. Because of The Legend of Zelda’s legion of fans overseas, we are aiming to sell more than one million copies worldwide.
Do you think this sales goal is obtainable? Will you be purchasing Hyrule Warriors when it comes out? Let us know in the comments.
