Popularity of Zelda is on a steady decline, the new one could inject new life into the series, sure, but by seeing the sales of WWHD & HW seems like a big chunk of the fanbase already owns the console.
Won't really argue about Splatoon nor Mario Maker, we'll have to wait and see; when a great game like Bayonetta 2 flops on the console then Devil's Third has no chance.
The newest iterations of Yoshi and Kirby didn't precicely lit the charts on fire, the fanbase of those series most likely own a WiiU already, will they bump the console? Sure, but don't expect them to do more than what Pikmin 3 did.
"Xenoblade will capture Japan" By that "will" it seems that you're dead certain on that, something in the likes of "Xenoblade wil quite unlikely capture Japan" sounds more likely, I mean with Mario Kart 8+Smash WiiU is down YOY in Japan, to think that a sequel to a game that Japan barely cared about will do anything is rather foolish for lack of a better word.
Honestly, the SF fanbase is nearly non existent, the only reason the the original SNES one and N64 one sold so well where due to gimmicks, the Super FX Chip and the Rumble Pack respectively, the WiiU is pretty much a gimmick and peope aren't buying it already.
