Price drop to $249.99 w/Mario Kart 8 bundled will do more than Zelda would have for sales anyway.

Zelda, especially cartoon shaded Zelda is not a system seller. Wind Waker did not cause a large boost in GCN sales, nor did Skyward Sword for the Wii. 

You're seriously using skyward sword to talk about hardware boosts? look at the wii's age and installed base when SS released.

And what info do you have about wind waker hardware boost?

Zelda will always be a system seller.

Substiute "always" with "once in a while". 

Zelda: Link Between Worlds also didn't do much for the 3DS. 

Zelda fans tend to be Nintendo fans (go figure, what a shock) ... they're going to end up buying the system either way, so it's not like there's a huge surge in sales. 

With *realistic* Zelda what you do get is sometimes you get the dudebros crowd who can be enticed by a "badass" (in their mind) Zelda to buy in, but core Zelda fans? Odds are they like Mario ... and about ten other Nintendo IP too.  

I don't really mind Zelda being delayed at all. Now maybe some folkes will actually give other games like Xenobalde or Star Fox a chance in its absence.
