Having it exclusive would mean that if you wanted it you would of had to buy the Wii. Some Zelda Fans (or just people who like the game) could of saw no use in buying the Wii and stayed with their GC. But, making TP exclusive to Wii would have almost forced those other people to buy the Wii if they wanted it bad enough. |
Normally that would be a reasonable expectation, but considering Nintendo could not possibly have sold any more Wii's (they were sold out always) it's not possible more people could have bought Wii's. If anything, they would have lost some of those Zelda game sales because people couldn't find a Wii to play Zelda on. As is, they at least had the option of getting the GC version in case they couldn't wait to get a Wii or simply didn't want one.
If Nintendo is worried about poor sales for WiiU, then that might be a strategy to boost sales. Although Dragon Quest X is launching on WiiU and still on Wii in Japan so it doesn't seem too much of a concern for them.
