Nothing we've seen supports this. So definitely no.

As stated in OP, Mario Kart 7 does.

The 3DS has a good chance at passing 20 million in the states. Wii U is not even close to 3DS numbers though. The worst 3DS month in the states was July 11 with 75k. Worst for Wii U so far was July 13 with 30k. Mario Kart 7 gave the 3DS a huge boost, but it won't be enough. 3DS sales in MK7's launch Dec were 1.6 million, or 2133% of its July sales. Assuming Mario Kart 8 launched last month and gave the Wii U a similar boost, the system would have only sold 640k in Dec.

Those numbers are only about 100k more than what it did.
