The Wii-U doesn't need "saved". Using that term kind of assumes that it's going to get discontinued or "Dreamcasted". It's not. It's probably going to sell anywhere between 20-30 million and make a profit for Nintendo in the end.

Having said ALL of that, I expect MK8, if marketed heavily through TV, to give it a healthy bump that is sustainable.

It's probably going to sell 20-30 million because of Smash and Kart though.

 

Imagine everything at the moment was exactly the same, except Kart and Smash were confirmed to never be releasing on the Wii U. It would have horrible sales for the year and definitely need saving! The system would be lucky to reach 15 million even. I think that's more along the lines of what the OP is getting at.
