They're kinda cannibalizing their own market for short term gain though.
A person who has a 3DS would probably be right to ask "why should I buy a Wii U? I get Mario Kart, Mario 3D, Mario 2D, Smash Bros., Zelda, DKC on my 3DS that gives me my Nintendo franchise fix, I'm not spending $300 on another console for the same franchises".
Also I really do think both NSMB2 and NSMBU were hurt by being released so close to each other.
