It's nice that after 15 years Nintendo realized some outreach is a good thing, but I can't help but think this is too little, too late.

This is a game that's 5 years old on ... 5 other platforms already? I don't see it selling well at all, and then we'll see what his tune is.

We heard lots of execs gushing about the Wii U and 3DS in the early days too, and most of them bailed out.

Nintendo needed to be building these relationships like a decade ago so they could build a foundation for an audience, because they haven't this audience is now entrenched with a Playstation or XBox and I don't see that changing, especially these days where people are locked into online infastructures (ie: if you change platforms you lose the ability to play with your friends who also have bought a PS4/XB1 to play with you, as also parodied on South Park). 

TBF, Minecraft is selling very good on Wii U, so I can see Skyrim doing respectable numbers just by name. It could have been better if Nintendo bundled the game and even more with a BotW copie, and having soon more similar games available like DQXI, FFXV and Dark Souls 3.
