Does Wii U have ANY system sellers this holiday?!

No. I'm afraid that we're past the era in gaming when one game is enough to convince many people to buy a system.

But putting SM3DW and DKC together is very enticing. Platformer fans would be crazy not to buy a Wii U at that point. The rest of us probably should hold out for Mario Kart.

So Wii U will only be exciting for playformer fans then? If that's the case, shouldn't the combo of NSMBU and Sonic LW have sold the console as well? Or NSMBU, Sonic and either of SM3DW/DKCTF? Those three platformers would have been enough for platformers, and we might have gotten another game instead from Retro...

Not really. Sonic is not as big as Mario or DKC, and it's ideal to have another huge platformer franchise on board at least as an alternative to Mario.
