NX version will do it no problem...the WiiU version only exists for hard headed people that don't want to accept that the NX version is a thing. Sales will reflect that.

not a chance in hell, 2 million tops. I mean the Wii U is already almost dead and the game is 10-11 months away.



currently playing: Skyward Sword, Mario Sunshine, Xenoblade Chronicles X

I would have said no even if it was WiiU exclusive. Now that its on NX though it will be lucky to pass 2m

Given that Nintendo is only planning to sell another 800,000 Wii U's for what is likely to be the rest of the console's life, it wouldn't surprise me if the Wii U version of Zelda U gets a very limited retail release. Both retailers and Nintendo are going to want to push the Wii U version of Zelda U under the carpet as quickly as possible next year especially since it won't be capable of selling hardware.

In all honesty, Zelda U on the Wii U probably won't even sell as well as GC Twilight Princess because of the lower install base and the fact that Zelda U won't even be able to capitalize on the Christmas sales season.  I predict maybe 1m.

Then they wouldnt make their e3 a big Zelda WII U VERSION focus

The only reason Nintendo is showing the Wii U version at E3 is because they don't want to show anything NX. I don't think the Wii U version will sell well, and I think Nintendo will even deliberately underprint the Wii U version of the game.

Wind Waker is going to be the best selling Zelda on Wii U u.u

No. Nintendo will do the same thing as they did with TP on GC. Cut the production of the Wii U version, short. So that it won't endanger the NX version long term.

They got no choice. They're stuck. They can't show the NX build. For the fear of spoiling... whatever the hell they love to hide. And then what? Show nothing. They got nothing left, but this. They're forced to show it now.

Ew Hyrule Warriors deserves better. Still Wii U's best Zelda game.

Which is why we will snag them up :)

Just like "Twilight Princess" GCN, the Wii U version will be more valuable in ten year's time.
