This proves why just thinking from a purely business perspective ala Forbes isn't always the right approach for the industry. In reality it would be a mistake to make it for both. It would send the message to Wii U owners that not only did the console have an extremely short life span, but they couldn't even commit to one true Wii U Zelda for it before jumping ship to NX. Why would that make the loyal fans who got the system want to support the NX?

And from the other side of the coin, Zelda U on NX will give a bad impression of what the system can do because it will merely be a glossy Wii U port. It will make it seem like NX is barely an improvement over Wii U's capabilities, and how exactly will that attract all the people that didn't buy a Wii U? They need to not be wasting resources on porting a Wii U game with slight visual improvements to NX and be focusing on the software designed specifically for that system so they can have at least one killer launch title that sells the platform. IF NX is even coming in 2016, which I still don't believe anyways.
