Breath of the Wild is selling better than Twilight Princess because it's a more widely appealing game. It's the first Zelda game that I've seen with a lot of female fans. It's not a Sony/PS4 style game in the slightest, the game is very much Nintendo style. A large part of what made Breath of the Wild popular was all the really cool stuff you can do in the game, it's a bit of an evolution of the original Zelda which had a very similar appeal to it. Breath of the Wild's physics engine definitely takes into account what Nintendo learned with games like Wii Sports and Mario Galaxy. But if someone sat down playing Zelda and said "Finally, a Nintendo console with games that aren't like Nintendo, and more like the stuff on PS4" I'd think they were nuts.
The console that was most like a Playstation was easily Gamecube. It was a PS2 clonebox along with Xbox. It remains to date my least favourite generation, because the only console I was remotely happy with was the Dreamcast, and that one flopped hard after around 2 years. It was a long wait for the Wii playing GBA and DS almost exclusively as far as current consoles went... Similar experience to the Switch with the Wii U.
