Let's look at the numbers, about 600,000 copies sold on the 3DS. The overlap between people who bought the 3DS, RE:R & the Wii U might be 50%. That would be 300,000 people or 10% of the Wii U's 3 million console install base (by the time the game releases). Many Wii U owners will eat this up as it's the first real Resident Evil on a Nintendo home console since RE4 & there aren't many other games with the same audience in mind crowding this game on the Wii U's release schedual (if any).
The PS360 have been flooded with substandard Resident Evil games over the last year and the brand has been weakened on those consoles.

You have it all wrong. Resident Evil games have a much higher fanbase on PS3/360 therefore the game will sell more. It won't sell anywhere near the mainline games though. The market for a Resident Evil game isn't very big right now on Wii U. All we can look at is Zombi U and that sold 300k. I expect Resident Evil to sell much less.
