New Zelda Coming In 2009, Says Analyst
Colin Sebastian of Lazard Capital Markets [http://www.lazardcap.com/] seems pretty sure that a new Zelda game is coming in 2009, listing it as one of 22 games that could drive a 5 percent growth in game sales in the next year.
In a last Peach game [http://uk.gamespot.com/news/6202650.html] was on the DS and not really that big a deal. If this one warrants inclusion on a "sales boosters of 09" list, could it be a full-fledged Wii game for Peach?
Sebastian's in good company: Michael Pachter of confirmed [http://www.wedbush.com/] some time ago that new Zelda and Mario games are in development, but have been coy about when they'll come out. Since Twilight Princess wasn't really a Wii title or a GameCube title, there has yet to be a real Zelda on Nintendo's highly lucrative Wii, leading many to believe that a new Zelda, built from the ground-up for Nintendo's number one money maker, is on the way.
Sebastian also made mention of another of the game industry's biggest franchises: Grand Theft Auto. Unlike Zelda, however, GTA won't be seeing any new iterations in the coming year, according to Sebastian. ""Looking ahead to 2009, we expect mid-single-digit growth in software sales on a tough growth comparison and potentially fewer hit titles (e.g., no GTA V until 2010)," Sebastian wrote.
