Nintendo won't cancel it, they've spent big bucks developing it and the Switch user base will take time to become a reasonable size.

Without wii u numbers Zelda numbers will look poor and wasn't Monolith involved in helping develop it. I'm expecting it to be a brilliant swansong for wii u. Even the Zelda windwaker hd rehash sold 2 million on wii u and mario kart has sold 8 million so lets say there is the potential for 4 million sales of which Nintendo make $15 per copy retail and $50 per copy digital with a split of 7 to 1 in favour of retail. That's over 50 million dollars retail and 25 million dollars digital. 75 million dollars Just can't see Nintendo saying no to that. Even if you cut those figures in half with half the sales. 40 million dollars goes a long way.

I'm a wii u owner and I'll be buying it but have not bothered with many other wii u titles that have been popular. I'm not saying I'm a typical wii u owner but I think many wii u owners are still super keen to buy the new Zelda. Looks amazing and great to see a fresh new Zelda experience.
