I think the only thing that would disappoint me is that the delay to Zelda U was because of NX. I really think that Zelda U in 2015 could have been the megaton the Wii U needed. Wii U could be looking at 20 million sales and climbing if they launched Zelda U when they said they were going to. Then they wouldn't have had to rush out NX until late 2017.

I think NX is definitely one of the reasons why Zelda U was delayed, but Nintendo certainly will not seat on game for whole year and doing nothing, you can bet that Zelda U will be more polished game with more content in that huge world, than it was released in 2015.

Wii U ended 2015. with 12.5m, its very unrealistic expecting that Zelda U would move that number to 20m consoles when Mario Kart 8 and Splatoon managed to hold sales of Wii U at around 3.5m for whole year. With Zelda U launched in 2015. probably Wii U would end up somewhere around 14m instead 12.5m.

A good price drop and a good bundle would have done wonders. I really think that if you added Zelda U, we would have seen something special happen. Nintendo just didn't want to gamble on it and turning around Wii U.
