WiiU = ~ 12.8 milion (05 march 2016)

Mario Kart 8 = 7.24 million (Official numbers at 31 Dec 2015)

Mario Kart sold amazing despite the abysmal hardware sales, but the majority of those sales came from a time when Wii U was still somewhat relevant. The console is utterly dead now, and Zelda is still 8 months away.

I can't believe how weak Nintendo has been after the huge succes that the Wii was. The Wii U is about as expensive as the Xbox and PS4, but the demand is not there. The system itself is a dud and there's hardly any marketing push. It's like Nintendo gave up before they even tried.

Yes, it´s amazing (in a sad way) how they went from a generation that saw both their highest selling home console and handheld ever, straight to a generation with the exact opposite (at this point I don´t think there´s any chance of the 3DS surpassing the GBA).
