How likely is in your opinion a Zelda U port on the next Nintendo home console ?

Zelda U has been rumored to be the biggest, most ambitious title from Nintendo yet regarding budget and manpower; I'd be very surprised if it wasn't an NX launch title.  And I think it's definitely their best move as long as WiiU still gets the game as promised.

Why wouldn't porting New Super Mario Wii U be a better move? It hystorically sells more copies per console than LoZ per same console in every single occassion.

I think there's a difference that some games benefit greatly from the install base without really driving hardware sales (2D Mario games) , while other games benefit less, but are capable of moving a big number of hardware units that games like 2D Mario can't move (Zelda, Metroid).

I honestly doubt there's many people out there that will go like "OMG, a 2D Mario, I have to buy this console". But people will buy a 2D Mario if they already have the console. On the other hand a Zelda or Metroid is a game that many people may consider getting a console for. And then they'll get that 2D Mario

I don't think 2D Mario is capable of driving hardware adoption the way a Mario Kart, Zelda, Metroid or Smash can.
