I think the Wii U proved more than anything else that Mario alone is not enough to move consoles, and that Nintendo management really has no idea what they are doing anymore.

Pretty much. They looked at the bad 3DS launch and came to the conclusion that no Mario was the problem and figured that was all they needed to do.

They're just not a very nuanced management group.
