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'm going with the assumption that NX's launch will coincide with the launch of WiiU's Zelda, very similar to TP.  Under those conditions, the debut of a brand new Zelda on Nintendo's brand new system would be huge, despite the game also being available on WiiU.  

By comparison, a port of NSMBU would do almost nothing to drive the launch of NX, but I'd fully expect it and plenty of other WiiU games to arrive digitally on NX eventually.
