No offense, and I'm gonna try to say this in the nicest way possible, but the common thread with you is that you see things through the lens of a diehard Nintendo loyalist. You see things as you want them to be, not as they actually are.

No, I see things like I think they will be and have good chance to be. 

What exactly is unrealistic to expect that Zelda U will be one of the best Zelda games or that LT Zelda U numbers both of Wii U and NX (especially when probably will be launch title on NX) can be similar to TP numbers!? Its not like I said that Zelda U will best game ever or that will pass 10m+ easily.

I'm gonna try to say this in the nicest way possible, but you see everything in worst case scenario and you not considering any other scenario.

It's unrealistic to expect TP numbers from Zelda U because if we presume a cross-gen launch it will be selling on (A) A system that's sold less than the Gamecube, and (B) An unproven system that has almost zero chance of selling as well as the Wii. So it will almost definitely have a vastly smaller install base to work with.

Also, in the age of the M-rated, realistic-styled AAA blockbuster, Zelda U won't have the mainstream appeal to reach beyond the existing Nintendo fanbase, which the Wii U shows is relatively small.

I deal in harsh realities. That doesn't mean I want things to be the way they are, but me pretending everything is fine when it's not doesn't help anybody.
