Zelda fans are not going to buy a Dynasty Warriors game if they don't like the franchise. And judging by preorders Hyrule Warriors isn't exactly setting the Japanese charts on fire. Zelda U and Smash Bros. Those are the only real system sellers left. 

Well, considering Dynasty Warriors hasn't traditionally been on Nintendo consoles, it would be hard for Zelda/Nintendo fans to dislike the franchise if they've never played it, really.

I for one had never even heard of Dynasty Warriors, but Hyrule Warriors is currently my #1 most anticipated game. And it's pretty clear a lot of people are really looking forward to the game as well, going by the amount of attention and articles it's getting everywhere. What it will end up selling is anyone's guess, but it doesn't look like it'll flop.

And saying Zelda and Smash are the only system sellers left for Wii U is exactly the same as saying PS4 only has Uncharted 4 and Destiny, or X1 having just Halo MCC and Halo 5. Just because they're the biggest and most talked-about doesn't mean they're the only games people buy a system for.
