Why they have to launch zelda U and NX on the same day?

We dont even know if Zelda U will be released after the NX version like TP did. So what they really are marketing is Paper Mario if thar happens.

I don't think that matters too much. What Nintendo wants for this year is for people to continue to buy wiiU and wiiU games. If they show off Zelda for the NX, then the wiiU sales would tank fully where as if they show off Zelda for the wiiU, then the wiiU sales would continue imo. So even if they are doing that TP nonsense with the wiiU and NX, as long as they promote the wiiU version until they announce the NX, then people should continue to buy wiiUs.

I doubt Nintendo wants the sales of the wiiU to drop until they are ready to go full NX. 9 Months is a very long time (from e3 announcement to NX launch)

By releasing the NX date. Sales will drop more. Anyone left over that hasn't bought the system. Now knows to wait 9 months. Basically, what Capcom did with Resident Evil 4, is a good example.

As for why Nintendo doens't sell the Wii U version first. Simple. Canibalzation. Most will buy the Wii U one. And not buy the NX one, only 3 months later. There's hardly gonna be anything different between the two. Like what. Resolution, and maybe the FPS?
