But 2D Mario (or any 2D platform game) in modern gaming definitely isn't huge seller and good choice for key launch title, it has mass appealing but its not system seller, NSMBU was pretty bad choice for Wii U launch.

Wii Sales again:

Zelda Twilight Princess: 7 Mio

Zelda: Skyward Sword: 4 Mio

Mario Galaxy: 11 Mio

Mario Galaxy 2: 7 Mio

All combined (2x 3D Marios + 2x Zelda) = 28 Mio sold units.

 

New Super Marios Bros Wii alone: 28 Mio sold units.

Mario Kart Wii alone: 35 Mio sold units.

 

On Wii U:

Mario Kart 8: 6 Mio

Mario Bros U: 5 Mio

Mario 3D World: 4 Mio

Zelda Wind Waker HD: 1,6 Mio

Hyrule Warriors: 1,20 Mio
