But, but I heard MK8 failed as a system seller!

Well it failed to put it onto a 100K/wk footing, which is what some people were predicting. 60-70K/wk only looks good because it was selling 30K/wk before.

I recall PS3 selling ~75K/wk in the summers before Sept 2009 and people were dancing on PS3's grave, or crying into their milkshakes.

Good summer weekly sales is 100K+, ordinary summer sales is 50-70K, bad summer sales is <40K, great summer sales is >150K.

We are just happy that the Wii U is not back to the shitty 30k baseline. Mario Kart 8 has shown (if these numbers are not too far off from reality) that there is a glimmer of hope that the Wii U can achieve modest sales (above the 15 million mark)
