I think the only people that will ever buy a wiiU are the people that think that Nintendo games are worth the asking price of the console which isn't as much if you take into account the free online (where you are basically saving $300 over the course of 5 years but granted the online isn't as good) as well as a lower price point and other things
But I think what Nintendo will do, as they do always, is make their games so amazing, that people want a wiiU to play them... The wiiU has a bunch of games right now that are fun and great but yes, as of right now, it may not be worth it for people to get a wiiU. But after that Mario Kart trailer, if you look at majority of the internet's reaction, it is really positive. I am even amazed on how great the game looks and plays. I don't think I have even seen a single site that didn't praise it for its graphics (in terms of art direction of course)
So after Mario Kart, if you look at the rest of 2014's lineup (provided there aren't any delays), there is Beyonatta 2 (Action Hack & Slash), Super Smash Bros (Fighting), X (Jrpg), Hyrule Warriors (Hack and Slash), Yoshi's Yarn (platformer) and potentially, SMT X FE (Jrpg) as well as what ever they are gonna announce at e3
So, the variety is certainly there which 2013 was largely missing and I think they will be able to Justify a wiiU within the next few months if not after Mario Kart 8
