Why shouldnt nintendo have let zelda U as a 2016 holiday game(and get all the holiday attention(and sales), not backstabbing wii U owners, not dirting its imaging delaying another game again...), then release NX on 2017 march, with no zelda(keep the schedule of the console). And then release zelda NX on 2017 holidays(to again get the holiday attention, sell NX better than in the launch).

I cant see a only reason why releasing zelda U and NX on the same day, on 2017 march is better than separated release dates.

Could someone explain me?

Becuse Wii U is dead and now they have new platform, so they dont want people to be hyped about Wii U game when that same game will be availible on new platform. They dont want people buying Wii U in order to play Zelda U and talking about it, they want people buying NX in order to play Zelda.

If they launch Zelda on Wii U this year and few moments later on NX, Zelda on NX would be just port of Wii U game, but launching game game on NX basically means brand new Zelda game and not port of Wii U game that is already released few months earlier.

Shortly, launch of Zelda U on NX will help greatly NX to have successful launch.
