The most interesting question is, how long will Wii U games sell?
Nintendos first party titles tend to sell really long, with legs longer than Bayonettas.
Pikmin 3 is one of the not so good selling, it still managed to sell 27,9% of it's year one sales in 2014, at least according to VGC.
Super Mario 3D World managed to have 80,5% of its 2013 sales, though it was released in late 2013. Still that's unusual today.

Mario Kart 8 could possibly be at 6 million at the end of this year.
SSBU is a little harder to predict. But 4 million seem possible as well.

Both will likely reach those numbers without bigger pricecuts.

A seemingly 'flopped' game like Tropical Freeze as well turns out to still sell.

So at least Zelda U should not only sell well but have some good. old Nintendolegs. Having it making money still depends of a budget no one knows, so even a good selling Zelda could be a generate losses. But not in Shenmue like dimensions.
