It's nice that Rayman sold best on Wii U for one week (still looks like a bomba overall), but even Iwata has acknowledged that Nintendo has been frustrated by 3DS sales in North America even after Mario 3D Land, Mario Kart 7, Luigi's Mansion 2, Nintendogs + cats, Style Savvy, Brain Training, Zelda: OoT 3D, Resident Evil Revelations, etc. I don't think that aligns with your theory that Americans will just buy anything as long as it has Mario on it.
That's why we're getting the 2DS I think ... Nintendo's going all out for the kids/budget demographic realizing they don't have anywhere else to go.
