Why do you think Nintendo seemed to ignore the Wii U this holiday?

1. The statement that the next Mario game will be on Nintendo's next console, meaning either a gap of several years for their main series or a new system sooner rather than later.

 

They didn't say this. The words were that they can imagine to let Mario do other things on their next system. Things not possible today.

Nintendo is like Apple. Both design their hardware to run their software at an optimum. 

As long as Nintendo isn't sure what to do with "just more power" they will experiment with new hardware and software concepts. As always. Nothing new here.

Also nothing new that media is reading something between the lines to make some news...
