One game is not going to make Wii U sell like hotcakes. But it, combined with the various bundles on the market, and the price drop, AND the greater value per dollar for what you get vs. PS4/XBone, will put Wii U sales in a positive direction. It will give it some more momentum heading into a crucial 2014 where HUGE games will determine the fate of Wii U. 3D Mario certainly helps sell systems. But these days, Smash and especially Mario Kart, along with a new HD Zelda looming on the horizon, will likely have a larger impact.
