The answer is No but unlike those above me I will explain why.
The reason TF did well but didn't push enough consoles to close the gap was because it was hyped since launch so its not a stretch to argue that TF has been selling console's since November.
The Wii U unfortunately has had a year on the Market, and while this game wasn't expressly announced till like last year, it and Smash 4 will probably perform worse than TF but better then DK:TF. They will sale well but pushing consoles is another thing entirely.

You honestly, earnestly think that MK8 or SBU are going to sell less than 2 million each? I'm sorry.....but even on a system struggling like Wii U, that simply is not possible. Especially not for Mario Kart. That game will sell 4 million MINIMUM, and it absolutely will push consoles. That is not in question whatsoever. It WILL help Wii U. The only question is by just how much?

I thought we were done with this: http://i5.minus.com/jj7gLRXHWPD3H.png

The question is whether or not MK8 will push consoles, selling 2 million on an install base of "6 million" is an attach rate of 1/3 which is better than TitanFall, but with regards to pushing console sales the age of the Wii U works against it. MK8 and Smash both have huge appeal with there fanbases, but do you really think MK8 and Smash fans haven't already bought the system in anticipation for it. I'm an exception since I'm expressely waiting for Smash, but my answer is still no.

bolded: considering the number of wii u's sold and the number of fans those series have: NO.
