How will the internet react if Zelda U comes to the NX at launch?

The system might not even release this year, which pretty much destroys this point. Also, Skyward Sword released under similar conditions to great success. 

So I'd say keep your stock, because if you only bought stock to see how much of a rise the stock would gain when they announce Zelda U on NX it was a bafflingly moronic move in the first place.

Calling Skyward sword a bigs success is pushing it.  And, Skyward Sword launched on a wildly popular console with nearly 100 million units sold.  The system already had a new(ish) Zelda game that sold like gangbusters.  So releasing it on the Wii U wouldn't have had much of an impact on system sales, because if you were a Zelda fan you could already play it on a console you most likely owned.  Plus, the Wii U's selling point was the gamepad, which would make having a launch title focused on the Wiimote a little off.

The situation is actually much more similar, to the situation with Twilight Princess.  The game was set to release on a system with a low install base.  Although Wind Waker was released, many Zelda fans were turned off by the style.  So Nintendo ould either release a potentially huge system selling title to the 20 million Cube owners, or instead try to use it to push their new much more important console.

Even if the NX isn't launching in 2016 (which all evidence points to not being true) then they should still release it for both.  Announce it at E3 so that people who want it (and don't own a Wii U) will know they can wait for the NX version.  If Nintendo could choose between an NX sale and a Wii U sale, they would choose the Wii U sale every time, even if it hurts software sales for Zelda.

As for my non-existent Nintendo stock, read more carefully before trying to be snarky :)

Then why not announce it for NX right now? That way people know they have a choice.

As for the stock thing, it still stands.
