Why did Skyward Sword fail?

The power of Stockholm Syndrome.
You know why

The numbers seem really close why is this considered a fail?

Because there was an exploit used with OoT to hack your 3ds as well.
Or did you conviniently forget that?
>>343669320
yeah, over 100,000 pirates bought OoT 3D just to hack their 3DS
The Wii was dead? HDTV's were the standard? No one wanted to waggle? It wasn't very good?
Not enough titties?
>>343668260
Because it was a tech demo for a peripheral released late in the systems life.
It wasn't a big failure but the fact Nintendo's completely 180'd from Skyward Sword with Breath of the Wild shows that they weren't thrilled with its reception and sales.

>new game outsold by 25 year old game
It wasn't good.

4 million is the total number of new units sold for OoT, including the reprints. And that's over the course of 4 years.
Compare that to Skyward Sword, which was released near the end of the Wii's life cycle and didn't track used sales copies.

SS is still sold new at retail.
Pretty sure the rampant Wii piracy didn't help.
Conversely, OoT3D used to be required in order to hack a 3DS.

Piracy. The Wii was busted wide open by this time, all my casual Zelda fans pirated it. I was the only one who bought it. It still sold well tho

90% of which never bought anything, just played wii sports, and stopped using it for that after six months

In very small quantities, and at high prices. Whereas OoT is much more available now at just $20, and on a handheld that's still alive.
Wind Waker HD has 2 million sales, on a 13 million Wii U userbase.
