A nintendo system with a 2D mario at launch... its a garanteed sucess. Analysts are pricks who really dont know the market half as well as they think.
The 2D mario aswell as pikmin and rayman will bring in the hardcores, the kids and the family. From my point of view as marketeer, the analysts really dont know what they are talking about. Nintendo has the family by the balls (aka the kids annoying their parents to get the machine). That garantees a sucessful launch and more adopters down the road because the risk of adoption is much less (and im sure more cool gams are coming down the pipe).
And for the record, i didnt get a Wii, and im unsure on wether to get a WiiU. But, unliky analysts, i actually can see Nintendo's genius marketing. I really dont know where these analysts get their educations from, because they dont seem very good at all.
