Summer is the slowest time of the year for video games and console sales. Why would you release a blockbuster during the summer and just get a marginal bump in hardware sales? You would see a far greater bump during the holiday season.  Of course the Wii U needs the game but I can see the justification for holding it for the holiday season. 

Release it during the summer and you might get a 20-40k bump.  Release it around Black Friday and you would see a 100-200k bump.
