I think it would take a miracle for Wii U to outsell the N64 at this point. PS4 is going well above 50 million+ at minimum.

I also think Mario Kart Wii's sales were inflated a lot by the Wii Sports casual audience. NSMB as well ... and we've seen on Wii U, NSMBU couldn't cut the mustard as far as driving hardware sales to a satisfactory level.

Mario Kart 8 will do well, but it will also likely even out again to N64/GCN like levels, the casual crowd isn't paying $300 to play that again when there is no new craze/fad/hook on the Wii U. Most of them don't even know the Wii U is new system, lol, and even less want a new console period.

The people who want a new console are very clearly core/hardcore gamers, Sony was smart in realizing that and making a console tailored to that audience. Nintendo just misread the tea leaves entirely.

Casuals, casuals, casuals... when will this cheap excuse cease? Wii had amazing GAMES and that's why GAMERS bought it. certainly, there were people who weren't gamers before that bought to the system but it's just sad to keep this lie about casuals.
