mario & Sonic karting will catch peoples eyes and wonder what it is. It will differentiate it from Mario Kart Wii. When people figure out you cant buy it for the Wii they will be forced to buy the WiiU. And there is your reason.

Mario Kart have pretty much always expanded though (sales wise), it seems like those who bought the previous games buy the new ones. Hard not to though, their awesome to have when friends are over. 

People won't buy it if they don't know it is new.  MK Double Dash I think sold 7m.  They dont want that.  Thay want 10m+  and they wont achieve it if people dont buy the WiiU.  Seeing Sonic and Mario together will definitely catch people's eye though.

If it's just like in Smash bros. (the same game with sonic in it) it will be ok. But I'm not to sure if they start making a mix of the Sonic racing and the mario kart formula.
