TP has had 6 years to build up those sales. As mentioned, so far, LoZ:SS is selling faster than LoZ:TP. Really this questioned could be reversed. 'Why did TP sell so poorly compared to SS?'
In the end, TP will sell more because it A) Came out on launch (when great quality titles were scarce and Wii was HOT) and B) SS came out a year prior to Wii's replacement cutting it's sales short.
Everything else is secondary or irrelevant. LoZ:SS has sold very well compared to other Zeldas in the time frame it's been out.
Having said that, if LoZ:SS had come out at holiday season the same year WiiMotionPlus/WSR come out, it'd have likely outsold TP.
