As Much As People Want to Lie, They're Still Nintendo Fanboys

According to Gamestop, upon availability, the limited edition of The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, which includes a golden Wii Motion Plus remote and a Music CD, became the #1 pre-order item at Gamestop. There are several games coming out soon, including Gears of War 3, Batman: Arkham City, Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception, and Mass Effect 3. Despite that, Zelda holds the highest rank.

People like to bash the Wii in public, but the sheer fact that Zelda looks to be the top selling game of the year is proof positive that the Wii is not quite dead yet and Nintendo placed all their eggs into one basket counting on Zelda to sell. It looks like they will have their way, based on how pre-order sales have gone.

The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword releases in North America on November 20.
