The only thing I can say is this:

Wait until the Wii U is 2 years old. That would be November 2014.
If the system hasn't sold some serious units by then, I'd be disappointed.

Of course, it's common knowledge that the Wii U will see some BIG numbers once Mario Kart 8 and Smash Bros. is out. Also, the next big Zelda is promised to move some units. As well as a bunch of unannounced titles at 2014's E3 Direct/Presentation/Whatever they're going to do.

Wii U has a lot of hope. One thing I'd love to see right now is a complete redesign of the WaraWara Plaza. It's just awful and needs a lot of fixing. I wouldn't mind something much simpler.

2D Mario is big as well. That didn't help the Wii. You'd be crazy to think that those games will get Wii numbers.

Ur really good at making nnonsense arguments. NSMBU was the only big game for the first 8 months, everything else was a late port or mediocre. People arent going to buy a $300+ console just for a 2D platformer. Every console to have a NSMB game was under $200 and had an established library at the time. NSMB is a great support title that can boost sales but it wont sell a console on its own.

DS-$129, other big titles include Brain Training, Nintendogs, Mario 64DS, Mario Kart, Animal Crossing

Wii-$199 other titles Wii Sports, Wii Fit, Twilight Princess, Mario Galaxy, Mario Kart, Smash Bros

3DS-$169/199 other titles OoT 3D, 3D Land, Mario Kart 7, Kid Icarus, Nintendogs+Cats

Wii U-$199/349 other titles Nintendo Land
