Those attach rates have still not stopped games on Wii U selling less than on their Wii versions. Mario 3D World still sold less than Mario Galaxy, Smash Bros 4 still sold less than Brawl. And if Zelda U is on NX, its Wii U sales will suffer still further, much like with TP on Gamecube.

And even if NX ends up being a handheld/console fusion, that is no guarantee at all it will sell Wii numbers. Nintendo home console + handheld sales this gen are at 67 million, far less than the Wii. 

But here's the kicker; both are in massive decline. Wii U will be an 85% sales decrease from Wii, 3DS about a 50% sales decrease from DS. This trend will likely continue into the next generation, so NX will probably sell considerably less than 3DS + Wii U.

that sucks

Yeah, it's a shame, because I love Nintendo and I want them to do well. But that can't happen until they stop ignoring what mainstream gamers want. If I praised the path they've gone down for the last four years, I would be advocating their destruction.
