I think a big chunk of the Zelda fanbase is already on the Wii U.
There's been Zelda: Wind Waker HD w/bundle, Hyrule Warriors, and the Zelda franchise also plays a big role in Smash Brothers ... so there's plenty of reason for core Zelda fans to already be on board.
I don't think it will cause a big hardware boost at all, especially another cartoon-style Zelda, that's not the art style the "general gamer" who usually doesn't care for Nintendo IP but might be willing to buy in for Zelda goes for.
I don't think Splatoon will do what Nintendo fans are hoping for either, in fact I think it will be lucky itelf to topple 1.5m LTD ... which is no system seller. '
I wouldn't be stunned honestly if Mario Maker actually ends up with the best LTD sales out of Nintendo's 2015 releases.
