But thats a point, Wii U is dead console for quite time with very limited user base (Switch in its full year will sell more than Wii U LT numbers), so plenty of people didnt know at all that Wii U existed on market at all. So again, fact is that not exclusive game for Switch, but in practice situation is totally different, people see Zelda BotW like Switch exclusive game and BotW acts like Switch exclusive game (its huge system seller game and must have Switch game).

I only mentioned that BotW is on third position on Amazon because you mention thats Wii U version of game also on list, not like proof that BotW is exlusive game, and there is huge difference between 3. and 10. position of top 10 best selling games.

The bolded part is what matters the most and what makes the title of this thread wrong, the part about people not knowing that the Wii U exists is just bollocks. You need to remember that all the hype behind Breath of the Wild  (people running to try it at E3, etc) was built on Wii U, with Nintendo saying that it was also going to be released for their new and, at the time, unnamed console. The rest is, as I said before, people making the logical choice that is picking a new console to play the game instead of one that was on its way out. 

A big difference between the 3rd and 10th game in the ranking is obviously expected, but the mere presence of it in the top 10 instead of hundred of other games released in 2017 for consoles still kicking is more than enough proof for me that people acknowledge the existence of the Wii U version.

Well title of thread is wrong, but like I wrote in practice that does not change much, and those are Nintendo and current Switch exclusives in any case. You said yourself, Nintendo said that Zelda BotW will be on new console also.

People who had Wii U know for Wii U and they bouth Zelda BotW for Wii U, hardly that anywhere both Wii U in 2017. in order to play Zelda BotW.
