I don't see a problem considering MK8 can carry Wii U till holiday season. SSB will be a great holiday title for the Wii U helping the sales when they matter the most.

I think you're overestimating Mario Kart. One game cannot sell a console for 6 months. 


Wii Sports sold the Wii for years.  MK Wii was still sold out 2+ years after release during the holiday seasons (I remember seeing on Craigslist people desperate for MK Wii 2 or 3 years after release during holiday season offering 80+ for the game so they could get it for their kids for Christmas).


Wii Sports was bundled. Plus, that crowd is gone now.


Wii Sports crowd might be gone but do you think the Mario Kart crowd is gone?

I would say more than 50% is gone and about 50% of the remaining moved to the 3DS.
