The wheel is an interesting thing to blame Mario Kart Wii's sales on. It doesn't begin to explain Mario Kart DS's 22+ million sales, or the fact that MK7 is tracking well ahead of DS. Maybe Mario Kart sales are dependant on the hardware sales of the console, and not the other way around. But it's clear that the series has grown a lot in popularity since the GCN days, and it's not hard to imagine the Wii U iteration selling over 20 million, bundled with a harmless piece of plastic or not.
