Wii U sales are already back to sub-100k levels after a month of Mario Kart 8's release. Nintendo can "aim" to do whatever they want, consumers are the ones who are voting with their wallets though. 

Wii U sales will be back in the gutter by Jan/Feb 2015, and there's not anything Smash is going to do to change that IMO. I could be wrong but Wii U sales for September 2014 were actually *down* year over year even with Mario Kart 8 and Hyrule Warriors ... there is no momentum here at all. 

You could be, and are wrong. Wii U sales for September were up yoy. That was a nice argument, but none of your proof works.

Wii U was roughly 95k for September 2013. Pretty sure it is down this year. In any case Wii U's monthly sales are very poor pretty much all the time anyway. 

Even the GameCube in its first 3/4 years rarely dipped into the sub-100k/month territory ... for Wii U that's basically the norm, outside of holiday months I believe its only ever topped 100k once in its lifespan (June 2014 w/Mario Kart 8) and then slid right back to sub-100k.
