I think a lot of people are underestimating Zelda's selling power. Twilight Princess is already forgotten?

TP was successfull because it was a cross-gen title and it came on the heels of the Wii boom. That wont happen with the new entry. Cell shaded entries dont perform as well as realistic ones.

Never the less, Im expecting next year to be the peek year for the WiiU with ~4.5 million sales, pushing it LT at over 14 million by January 1 2015. Tough it could also do under 4 million or over 5. Its to early to tell. A lot rides on the reception of the new IPs IMO.

Wind Waker HD did pretty damn good for a remake on a horrible (At the time) selling platform.

Agreed with that. But it was for 2 reasons: lack of games and the high quality of the remake. Im not saying that Zelda U will sell badly, but it will probably push between 4-5 million units lifetime if its well received, and most gamers who wanted a U for the Zelda would have already purchased one by then IMO.
