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.

Not true, lotsa people who dont have Wii U are talking about Zelda U, I just keep seeing comments from people that are not Nintendo fans who saying they passed Wii U but they will buy NX and ZeldaU, also evre little info we have about Zelda is becoming news in evre gaming media. Of Course that Zelda U cant have hype like some multiplatform game, but same we can say for any Nintendo game or an exclusive game.

I wrote 4-7m where is 7m is highest that Zelda U can achieve on NX not that 7m is what more likely that will be achieved, 5.5m is middle of 4-7m. I expcting that NX will be much more popular and relevance in the console space than Wii U was.
