Wii U production will have ceased by then. It'd be more feasible to released it on the original Wii, lol, at least with that there is more than one factory in the world that can make its DRAM (and it doesn't happen to be owned by Sony). 

If something completely awful happens there is a 50x better chance the Mario game Miyamoto is speaking about would end up on the XBox Scorpio and PS4/Neo than Wii U, if it needs to go to another system, that will mean the NX has failed and as such Nintendo's time as a hardware marker would likely be at an end. 

But there's still 13million owners (even if NX is a success I don't see it beating 13 mil).

By 2017/18 when this game releases? Doubtful, many people will have sold their system or shoved it into their closest. 

This is likely why NX is unified platform, in *case* the console flops like the Wii U did, Nintendo can just keep producing the games for the portable NX. 

I think Nintendo has actually thought through this entire exact scenario, in part because both the GameCube and Wii U did not sell well they have to consider what happens if the console NX follows the same path (or worse). 

Beyond that I don't even think this game would run on a Wii U ... I'm going to guess the NX is something very different from the GameCube, what you guys are saying would be akin to telling a GameCube owner in 2003 that Wii Sports is going to be Nintendo's next huge hit game and the GameCube owner replying "yeah well, maybe they can release it on the GameCube" not understanding what's about to happen.
