I don't think the performance issues we have seen are enough to axe potentially millions of sales from releasing on two platforms versus on just one. Also, there is potential for sales from selling to double dippers.

BotW got a huge reception at E3, it saw several hours of play on the WiiU, and even gave chance for the public to play despite the WiiU's difficulties.

Of course, there is still a chance the WiiU version get cancelled but I'm seeing financial motivation to release on two platforms instead of just one. Two is greater than one after all.

I don't think the performance issues are worth axing it either, but I have no faith in Nintendo agreeing with us, since it will give them a handy excuse to try to force Wii U owners to get a Switch.

A legitimate concern but I can't say I share it: I'm getting a Switch but not just for BotW. I'm no double dipper so whether I get it for WiiU or Switch, at the end of the day I'm only buying it once.

I agree, especially since the game is not complete yet. They're most likely working on optimization for the Wii U and Switch versions of the game right now.

The WiiU version looked pretty good so I do feel finishing that version for release on the WiiU would definitely be worth the effort. We shall see come release time.
