To be fair, I highly doubt Nintendo decided on the low distribution of a game they neither developed or published. There just isn't much of a market for the umpteenth version of a Telltale game that has been widely available on other devices since the first episode. Why waste the money pumping extra copies out into the wild? Anyone who doesn't want to buy the Wii U version should just buy it on their PC or phone or digitally on any other existing console to save the hassle of dealing with a Telltale physical release that is basically just an authorization code to download the episodes anyways.

Well they know there is a market for Minecraft. I am flabbergasted that they did not go with a decent 10,000 copy shipment. This is not Devils third. This is Minecraft.

No, this is Minecraft: Story Mode. It's alright, but it isn't exactly Minecraft. It's a half decent story tossed together using Minecraft assets. I mean, this game has only pushed about 2.4 million sales across five devices in the better part of two years (which is basically par for Telltale releases), if the Chartz numbers are even remotely accurate. In comparison, Minecraft has pushed nearly 2 million sales on the Vita alone, not even counting the consoles that sold millions more a piece.

So yeah, it may be Minecraft, but you gravely overestimate how much that helped this game. It basically just sold because it's a Telltale game and a decent number of people are partial to their releases.
