I'm not ignoring that. Given that Nintendo's popularity in the console space has sunk to an all time low, I consider it unlikely that NX will be a big success. Being a launch title for it would help a bit, but to reach Twilight Princess sales, Zelda U would need a more mainstream style and better marketing.

Again, WW was launch on GC, if NX really is unified platform definitely it will be more successful than GC. So you said your self, more mainstream art style, fact that open world games are hot right now, being launch title, also fact that game is looking beautiful and that is hyped (especially in comparison with WW), with all this you expecting that will sell just bit more than WW was sold on GC!?

I dont agree for need for mainstream style, I think needs to have great and beatiful art style like it does. Also of course that Zelda U will have huge marketing, not only its biggest Nintendo project ever it's also 30th anniversary of Zelda, almost whole year there will be huge hype about Zelda. 

Saying all that, if Zelda U is launching on Wii U and NX, I expecting sales for Zelda U in range around 1-3m for Wii U and 4-7m in range for NX.

Once again; Zelda U is not a hyped game except among Wii U owners. Nobody else cares about it.

It is extremely unlikely that NX will sell well enough to allow for 7 million Zelda sales when it's coming at a time when Nintendo's popularity and relevance in the console space is perhaps the lowest it's been since they joined in the mid 80s.
