How would this help them sell more Wii Us?

Really? O.o

So many are waiting on SSB. This would convince many to buy it earlier, heck titanfall it helped nicely

Ehh, maybe. The game is coming out soon anyway, and no one who would buy a Wii U for a Smash Bros beta wouldn't buy one for the full game. At best, they're selling some consoles a little bit sooner.

I ask because Nintendo seems to release demos only for games that need more exposure, like Fire Emblem and Wonderful 101. Smash Bros definitely isn't one of those games. So if a demo wouldn't help sell the game, and it wouldn't help sell consoles, what purpose would it serve from a marketing perspective?
