It shouldn't.
The Wii wouldn't have had it's own original Zelda title. Also, the wait from Twilight Princess was already ginormous, they'd have had to delay the game a full year on top of that. I don't think that would have done the game good sales-wise. Without Skyward Sword, Super Mario Galaxy 2 would have been the last 'big' title to be released on the system, at least the last I'd have bought. Skyward Sword delayed Nintendo's abandoning of the system a little while longer, keeping sales slightly higher a little while longer, so the game definitely helped. Moreover, we'd have to wait even longer for the new WiiU Zelda to come out compared to now.
Lastly, the game couldn't have been done on WiiU as is. People who say that haven't played the game. It was completely streamlined to the Wii's features, in particular the Wii Remote. Everything, from the combat to the puzzles to the mini-games to the story to the interaction with the environment, could only be done as is with the Wii Remote. Take that away, and you wouldn't have had Skyward Sword. If they would make it for WiiU, it couldn't have been Skyward Sword.
