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.

Not really. Watchdogs gave PS4 a bigger bump than MK did WiiU. Eveything else that has released on WiiU has done nothing hardware wise, so yes, Smash and Zelda (and even that isn't going to be big) are WiiU's only hardware sellers left, PS4 is going to have multiple games that will shift significant hardware, most we don't even know about yet.

Of course Nintendo could bring something out for WiiU that could be a system seller, totally believeable. But from what we know and can guess, all there is is Smash and Zelda.

Ok.
