Well TP was 7mil, we're talking 5mil.

But regardless, I think that first part is inaccurate.  The demographic that Zelda and similar titles appeal to was quite done with the Wii by the end of its life cycle.  Motion controls=waggle and Wii=casual was firmly etched into the collective conception of the Wii.  And no marketing=major sales missed always, 100% of the time.  I would say SS was lucky to reach 3.88mil in the circumstances.  Number of units sold means little if no one knows about the game or gives enough of a crap to care.  And that pretty much describes the attitude of a massive part of gamers concerning the Wii in 2011.

No, it was just required motion +, late release and the game itself. Still sold in line with previous second zeldas.

Also, the bolded isn't an attitude from gamers.

Gonna have to agree to disagree on that one.  The Wii is widely considered by many to be a glorified dust collector, casual device, gimmick device, etc. and that definitely goes back to 2011 at the very least.
