Not even the best IPs from Sony or MS can overshadow Zelda.

Not entirely true. Series like Uncharted from Sony and Halo from Microsoft overshadow Zelda.
Best selling Zelda game of all-time was Twilight Princess, releasing on two consoles (Gamecube and Wii) and it only sold 8.6 million in the 11 years its been on the market. Uncharted 4 sold 8.8 million in its first 7 months. Hell Uncharted 3 released around the same time as Skyward Sword which sold 3.6 million all-time on a console with a 100m install base. Uncharted 3 sold more than that in DAY 1, and went on to sell 6.7 million on a console with less than 3/4th the install base.
And it goes without saying that Halo has sales records the likes of 8, 12, 9.75, and 10 million copies for various entries.
I love me some Zelda and grew up on it. OuT is in my top 3 games of all-time. But there are plenty of franchises with far more consumer appeal. Hell a game like Last of Us being a new IP outsold all but Twilight Princess and thats a library consistening of over 20 games between consoles and handhelds. Other games like Gran Turismo and others have healthly outsold Zelda consistently. GT specifically having sales records like 9.3, 11.75, 12, and 15 million for various entries.

I was typing out a response to you and remembered you weren't the one who made the 2x prediction. I'll just add to your argument that Zelda isn't the franchise that makes sense for his argument. Mario would make more sense and even that game isn't universally over Sony and Microsoft's best. The only game that really beats anything Microsoft or Sony puts out from Nintendo is Pokemon.
