@Walsufnir:
It's not just current owners. It's the picture Nintendo would draw of themselves. Never piss off your core fanbase. They're likely the early adopters of your next system.
About pushing Wii U, Xenoblade wont. Maybe a (very) little bit in Japan, but not in the rest of world.
Zelda might give Wii U the last push. But that not only depends on the game itself.
We dont know how much it has to sell to be profitable, but Zelda is lileky the most expensive Wii U game. So there's a real chance of Nintendo loosing money in the first place.
Mid- to longterm it might be more expensive though and a realistic chance of remakes making money.
They need to show support on Wii U, no matter if a successor arrives in late 2016 or late 2017.
