People knocking other people's predictions yet the attach rate on Wii U for first party is higher than GC look at Mario Kart 8 plus Switch being a hybrid platform means that both portable and console userbases are on the platform, as optimistic as some predictions are it's not that farfetched tbh as TP sold near 9m with out the portable side of the userbase. BOTW will be not only on two consoles but available to portable players as well that's a massive factor it has over previous games.

The portable base won't help enough to get it to 11-13 million; A Link Between Worlds only sold about 3 million, and that came out when the portable market was considerably healthier than it is today.

According to whom? ALBW is on 3DS which if you haven't noticed is the current portable market, I remember when people thought Smash wasn't going to sell that much on portables as well, BOTW is a far different kind of Zelda game to what the portable  players normally get as well it's a massive jump for them.
