Actually, it doea not make sense. If WiiU really is dead, it will not hurt sales on Switch. If WiiU isn't dead, it contributes to sales. Also the question is, how much WiiU-owners already are won over to Switch. So even if WiiU-owners still use the device, they may prefer buying Zelda on Switch. So, the interesting set of people would be the ones, that would buy Zelda on WiiU, but if not available purchase Switch for the game. I doubt that are many. WiiU-owners either buy Switch right away or aren't swayed by Zelda. On the other hand is the negative effect if the do not release it on WiiU. That would be PR-disaster and might turn away customers from all Nintendo-products. So, if Nintendo-management made this decision they are stupid as hell. |
Why waste resources on a terrible sell rate of Wii U, just bloody can it. Would want to push Switch sales, most businesses would want the new thing to sell to the best possible potential. I honestly think Nintendo doesn't really care for 10 - 15 million Wii U Owners, they will sell more Switches.
