Will Zelda U be a cross generation title?

Because I dont think NX will release in 2016, 2017 for that one.

OK well lets say for the sake of arguement that NX does release in some form (even if its only handheld) in 2016. 

Lets also assume the system is powerful enough to run the new Zelda game. 

What's the logical, rational reasoning in that scenario for NX not to have this Zelda game?

So that Nintendo can sell fewer copies? Make less money? So that fewer consumers can enjoy the game? 

If NX releases in 2016 (even as a portable) then it will likely get Zelda U, hell NX will likely get ports of most Wii U games at that point to build a strong launch lineup. I can easily see 'underperforming' games like Pikmin 3 and DKC: TF and maybe even SM3DW making the jump to NX.
