If  there were tons of consoles I'd agree with you, but we're talking about 13 mil, and will the game sell 10 mil. Even if we are to assume an NX port, as said, even the most successful console launches only sell around 12 mil first year (the real time for Zelda launch title to shine). 

So in one instance, we would have to assume 10 million out of 13 million console owners will buy Zelda U. In the other instance we will HAVE to assume that the NX is going to be the best selling console of all time. Or the last instance we would have to assume that Zelda U would have record breaking attatch rate, and not by a bit, I'm talking some real unprecedented attatch rate that of which has never been done before and would likely never happen after.

I'm "assuming" that there is going to be an NX port (there is going to be an NX port). If it's Wii U only then yes, you could say it's impossible.

At bolded: Why do you HAVE to assume that? I already told you console sales =/ Zelda sales. Assuming that the NX sells a modest amount of consoles this Zelda game can get to 10 million in all it's lifetime if  you combine U/NX.

Ocarina of Time sold 7.60 million copies on a console that barely went through the 30M mark.

As I said it all depends on the quality of the game.

And I'm saying Wii U and NX won't even reach a 30 million mark for YEARS. even with decent sales. PS4 took 2+years to achieve this.
