If the Wii U would had another name it would had sold the same or even worse. But you would know tell me "the new name was a horrible mistake, 100mio users owned a wii and the brand was extremly popular, nintendo should had kept it like playstation and xbox did".

The console is selling bad because of decreasing interest in nintendos home console games. 

So wrong. In Wii U case marketing and name are single biggest reasons why Wii U failed. 100m people owned Wii, but all those people in meantime migrated to other platforms and didnt play Wii any more, basically they move away from Wii, and than Nintendo comes with terrible marketing and again Wii name making misunderstood and confusion on market where all those casual thinks that Wii U is actually some kind of addon (tablet controller for Wii), and not new console. Not just that consumers were confused it was same for shops and retailers, it was mess. That misunderstood and confusion last almost whole year, when Nintendo finally had better marketing (around holiday season 2013.) it was already too late. Personally I resseling Wii U games, and believe me there people that still dont know that Wii U exist and that trying to buy Wii U game for their Wii. So only with better and normal marketing that didn't make misunderstood and confusion and different name, Wii U sales would be definitely noticeable better.

Add to terrible marketing and bad name all mistakes Nintendo made with Wii U (that I mentione with) and you have worst selling Nintendo console.

Dude, that's not even close to reality.

I just checked like 20 games, and most common size is 3gb+. 

I have a hard time believeing that the avg size was less than 1GB as you claim.

GC 1.5GB limit was a huge issue, and a bad hardware design choice from nintendo. It wasnt a exaggeration, or excuse, it was a real issue.

Well too bad the are over a thousand games, here's also a note for yourself some games that were released on GC just fine were bigger in size on PS2 like Timesplitters and Killer 7 for instance because a lot of data was left uncompressed or the way the programing on the PS2 is when written on disc (Killer 7 is 2.2GB on PS2 for example yet was developed for GC first and fits on a single layer just fine I think it's only 1 GB on GC), RE4 also took up more space on PS2 because they used video files instead of in engine cutscenes not sure why though I'm guessing PS2 had an issue with it. Most of the larger games hover at the 1-1.5GB mark as well with many games well capable on fitting on a dual layered disc and I wonder if they're only that size because of them being on the PS2 tbh because as seen with many multiplatform games they were bigger on PS2 then on GC and Xbox, examples of games below 1gb are Dark Cloud, Deus Ex, everquest, each disc of DMC2, GTA3, Grandia, Half-life, Hitman 2, Indigo Prophecy, Jak and Daxter, Max Payne 1 and 2 and so on.

But won't that devalue Zelda U?

To some degree, I'm sure. But it'll still be a strong title to go out on for the WiiU, is what I meant.

With TP selling only 1.5m on GC, I'd say the impact of releasing on two consoles is pretty significant.

What impact are you refering to?
To Nintendo it wouldn't matter which version people got. Well actually, they'd probably prefer if more people got the Wii version since there are more potential customers to buy the new console because of the game.
It sold 7,26m units for the Wii, so it was a very successful title.

And to GC owners, what would it matter how many people got the GC version instead of the Wii version, being a single player game without online multiplayer?

It was still a nice title for GC to go out on. Much better than some rushed budget game.

I was just talking about wii U sales.

Zelda U will probably be more balanced in sales between the two platforms compared to TP, because it is extremely unlikely that NX will be as successful as the Wii.

If the NX launches with Zelda, and its sales explode on release like the Wii 's, then from now on nintendo better launch every new console with a mainline zelda game.Same with mario, no more 2D sidescrolling Marios, a 3D one on console launch should be a must for nitnendo.

 

Games sell consoles, and as much as anyone might denie it, Nintendo = mario & zelda, without those on a system, it just wont sell.

Look at what happend with Wii U.

It launched without a 3D mario, or a Zelda game. Its honestly something Nintendo cant afford to do, it hurts them too much.

Well... first of all, this is assuming the NX, whatever it is can run Zelda Wii U.

But, no. I would rather the new system have a zelda specificly designed for it rather than a second hand one.

There is no reason to assume that NX want be able to run Zelda U, because NX isn't only handheld device and home console or some sort of hybrid will definitely be stronger than Wii U.

NX will have own Zelda, Zelda U port for NX don't affect on that. In any case we would wait 3-4 years for NX Zelda, that means for NX same like Wii U very long time without new Zelda game, but Wii U port NX will have brand new Zelda game on launch.

Wii had almost perfect launch titles, it launched with Wii Sports that was magnet for casuals and Zelda TP very strong title for core gamers. Wii U had very bad launch titles, Nintendo Land even great game didnt had nearly great appeling of Wii Sports and NSMBU basically HD version of 2D game from Wii.

New 3D Mario and Zelda U port would be very strong launch games for NX, with posibilites with games like Pikmin 4 and Smash Bros 4 port, that would be definatly one of strongest Nintendo launch ever.
