Mario games do sell consoles, that`s exactly why you don`t need a Mario game on launch or on launch window because Wii U will sell itself for a good time. A Mario game, be it 2D or 3D, would work better when there`s a market or at least a chance of supplying retail with enough consoles and at launch you can`t do that.
If Mario launches a console people are going to overlook 3rd party games for a good time before giving other games a chance and Wii U needs is attract PS3 and Xbox 360 gamers as soon as possible. More, a short of consoles would hinder that transition and that would result in lesser sales for hardcore games.
In my opinion, it`s best that Nintendo keeps those big hitters for a later date to sustain sales.
