Where did I say it was the only factor? All I said is that it was THE reason Miyamoto said what he said, his quote was business driven, and so sales were interpreted to mean "it didn't fucking work guys, back to the drawing board". And what didn't work, clearly the main point of contention between Aonuma and Miyamoto: Motion+ Controls of the sword.

So, what's your answer now?

"10mil people bought TP, whereas 3.5Mil bought SS, so there are probably 6.5 mil peple out there who weren't interested in the game most likely for the reason Miyamoto stated."

That is where you said it was the "most likely" factor. I don't know where you get "back to the drawing board" from. If I ignore all the parts of that statement I don't care about, I can make Miyamoto support my position, too:

"With the last game, Skyward Sword, that was a game where you had motion control to use your weapons and a lot of different items. And I thought that was a lot of fun... So we’re in the phase where we’re looking back at what’s worked very well and what has been missing and how can we evolve it further."

Reads a lot differently like that, huh? He's talking about "evolving it further," not going back to the drawing board.

just because Miyamota may have said that the controls cut out some people from playing the game, this doesn't just mean there are people who are bad at it, good deal of fans of zelda could be phsically impaired and not able to actually enjoy the game as it was intended to be played as a lot of people with phsical disabilitys love rpgs and mmorpgs as they are an escape from the life where they are not able to run around jump and swing a stick at fairies... unfortunatly for those gamers zelda SS requires them to do those things in real life to perform them in a game.
