Just to clarify some confusion over Nintendo's 9 million target:
Nintendo are not estimating that Wii U's total install base will be 9 million units by the end of March. They forecast that they would be able to sell 9 million units within this financial year. They are definitely going to miss that target by a significant amount, expect it to finally be revised down in January.
Mario Kart 8 was confirmed for spring at E3. I'm thinking it'll release globally in April. I'd hope for Smash in June, but I'm not betting on that.
