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.

Why not announce it now? Because they haven't actually debuted the system yet O_o... Zelda's not coming out before E3, so people would still have a choice if they announced it then. It's not like people need a full 6-8 months to make a choice on which console they want.0000
As for your stock comment lol no. It made no sense. Let's see what I said...
"If Nintendo chooses not to release the game on both systems (assuming there is not some hardware reason that it couldn't be done) then I would suggest that anyone with Nintendo stock should sell it, because that would be a bafflingly moronic strategy."
Your reply was....
"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."
Which was dumb on several levels. I didn't say I had stock in Nintendo, nor did I say I or anyone else bought stock to see if it would rise with a Zelda NX announcement. So, while I agree that would be a baffling moronic way to invest in stocks, it's not something that anyone did or even suggested doing.
You tried to be snarky, and you failed. S'ok. It happens. Just move on from this one.
