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. 

Not if they make it like Xenoblade Chronicles or LoZ Breath Of The Wild. Xeno Cron was on the Wii but it used the classic controller, and we already know LoZ can be played on both, however they have to remake the controls would be far simpler in a Mario game than an open world collect-a-thon LoZ is going to play out.
