Why they have to launch zelda U and NX on the same day?

I don't think that matters too much. What Nintendo wants for this year is for people to continue to buy wiiU and wiiU games. If they show off Zelda for the NX, then the wiiU sales would tank fully where as if they show off Zelda for the wiiU, then the wiiU sales would continue imo. So even if they are doing that TP nonsense with the wiiU and NX, as long as they promote the wiiU version until they announce the NX, then people should continue to buy wiiUs.

I doubt Nintendo wants the sales of the wiiU to drop until they are ready to go full NX. 9 Months is a very long time (from e3 announcement to NX launch)

800k forecasted for a full fiscal year is already a considerable drop.

Agreed but it would be even more of a drop than that. I am just trying to see what Nintendo's reasoning might be.
