Twilight Princess on GC was purchasable from storeshelves just fine, the reason why the Wii version is over 7m while the GC version only has 1.5m is because for Wii it was a launch title that got a lot more time to sell and initially people wanted to try the motion control over regular control. It will be no different with Breath of the Wild, it will be on shelves for WiiU for a time.

I also wouldn't be surprised if they stagger the release like they did back then as well, with the WiiU version coming a week or maybe two later. They should, because they should push the Switch version as a brand new game, day one buyers of the game are going to get a Switch in favor of just waiting. I guess releasing simultaneously wouldn't be a terrible disaster, but releasing WiiU version first would be a bad idea.

It was more like a month which was really shitty if you were getting it day one for GC but had to avoid spoilers.

I'm fine with Breath of the Wild launching a month later on Wii U as long as we still get the fucking thing.

That's all I want, the Wii U Zelda I was promised. The Switch version could be 4k/120fps and serve you chocolate milkshakes while giving you a blowjob, I don't care, just give me the Wii U version.
