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

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.

But it would be a port, which would obviously not even showcase the NX's power. 

NSMBU helped push Wii U sales the first year of the Wii U's life, and it's first year sales were actually pretty good. Add to it the fact that NSMBU and NSLuigiU combined far outsold any LoZ and port (or remake) with the exception of Ocarina Of Time (best selling of the franchise again since the 3ds entry) it should paint a pretty clear picture. It we are going by financial success, LoZ is not the best route they could take (looking at numbers).
