Minecraft Wii U uses the TV for Inventory and crafting, Not the Gamepad!

I would suspect they wanted to get this game out for the holidays and update it with improvements afterwards. I think that this game will sell well (500k-1m) regardless and actually give the WiiU a decent boost in hardware sales as well.

Every person who really wants to play minecraft could play on a different console for cheaper. It may still sell well on the wii u, but it's not moving any hardware units

I think all the parents who bought their kids Wiis in the past are ready to upgrade and this game will grease those wheels.  I'm not talking millions but I will bet it garners an extra 50k of sales that would not have been there without Minecraft U
