Hardcore fans will buy it regardless of its art style. But mainstream gamers prefer "serious" graphics to cartoon graphics, as you have already admitted and as the weekly sales charts prove. Appealing only to a fanbase that can support 4-5 million sales is foolish when you can reach wider and sell better.
Your problem is that you are only thinking of what you want, rather than what the market wants, which is Nintendo's problem also.

Hardcore will probably buy it regardless, but not everybody will be satisfied.I also said that not mainstream gamers don't want only "serious" graphics (I already mentioned to you examples). No, its not appeling to fanbase that can support 4-5 million sales if Zelda U is also NX launch title and great Zelda game, we are talking here about similar TP numbers.
Of Course I thinking what I want (same like you), Nintendo is thinking what people that buying their product wants and that's good thing, you constantly saying like that is bad thing but its not.

I'm not talking about what I want though. I like Zelda U's art style. I like it a lot. But I am divorcing my personal preferences from this and talking about what the market wants.
You can list as many minority examples as you want, but the sales speak for themselves. In an average weekly sales chart, 8-10 of the top 10 have realistic/dark graphics. Of the top 5 selling games of this generation so far, not one has cartoon graphics.

I also don't talking what I want, I talking about I think, but yes Nintendo is doing with Zelda U exactly I always wanted from Zelda game.
Of Course 8/10 have realistic/dark graphics when around 80-90% games today have that kind of graphics.
At end of day, you thinking that Zelda U art style is not good choice (even has great reception from whole market) for Zelda game and that more "serious" graphics would be better, you also think that game will not sell great only because of art style. I think that Zelda U are style is just beautiful and perfect especially if we having on mind Wii U hardware, I dont think that series need more serious look only because "mainstream gamers", and if Zelda U is NX launch title also I expecting that will be one of the best selling Zelda games.
