Its not stupid, its very simple logic.
The NX obviously isn't soley dependant on Zelda but it will certainly add more momentum as a brand new title launching and promoted with the system versus a 4month late port.
The last of Us had double the impact on PS3 hardware sales (100% increase) then it did on PS4 (50% increase) when compare the launches. The concern is not the sales of the game itself but providing the absolute best conditions for the NX to launch in. Launching Zelda ahead of the NX would be the easiest way to weaken its launch line up, and for what?? So they can throw a dead console a bone. Wii U is ending production this fiscal year, its holiday is irrelevant.
Edit: Obviously for Wii U owners it sucks, but its smart business.
