Except those kids either grew up to be old enough to have a ps4/ps3/xbox one/xbox 360 with minecraft, or those kids are young and probably use their parents iphone/android/ipad/computer to play minecraft.
If a parent has a wii u, they could buy minecraft for the wii u. That's why minecraft could sell well on it.
If a parent doesn't have a wii u, they have soo many other options that buying a wii u for minecraft is not worth the extra hundreds needed.
Minecraft U won't be moving any hardware units for the wii u.
It would have if it released with gamepad support and as a launch title for the wii u, but it's too late now.

I'm not saying it's a 1:1 causality ratio, merely the difference maker. I agree there are other opportunities to play the game via alternate systems but being such a hugely popular game there will still be opportunities for new players.

I realize that, nothing will ever be a 1:1 ratio. Thing is, that amount is negligible, along with claims like "devil's third is going to move units." Although technically that statement holds up if devil's third moves at least 2 units, it is implied that devil's third was supposed to move a LOT more units for that phrase to mean what we wanted it to mean.
Also, your earlier estimate of moving 50k units is really high. Again, there is no incentive for buying a wii u for minecraft. You're better off buying a ps3 for cheaper to play minecraft. High software sales =/= High hardware sales
