Well considering the Wii U only outsold Vita by only 20k units in all of 2013 (both had equally barren release schedules) and the fact that so far this year the Vita has outsold the Wii U every week but one tells you why people are thinking the way they are. Vita's found a niche in Japan to help sales, WiiU hasn't found a niche anywhere. Also Playstation consoles have a habit of staying on the market longer than Nintendo ones so that may play a factor.
And as far as Mario Kart and Smash are concerned, Super Mario 3D World was the first game that was supposed to raise the Wii U's baseline and so far it hasn't so who's to say Mario Kart and Smash will make a 2 million unit deficit disappear. I'm not saying it won't happen but at this point it's looking very unlikely.
