You've literally said nothing here and some of it isn't very coherant tbh, for a start the's more to selling a console then just software the is pricing, concept, marketing etc... Wii was vastly affordable even during a time of recession, it was heavily marketed, it was easy to distinguish from any other platform, the was an easily understandable concept etc... Wii U suffered from consumer confusion because of poor naming which even today some people still think it's an add on for the Wii, no marketing, pricing that is far from competitive this alone can kill a platform as the price is in range of the PS4, poor communication of the concept, abandonment of the blue ocean approach etc... No game is going to save a platform from all of this. If the Wii had these same problems the platform would have bombed just as hard with the same games or not.

Guess what generates interest, reputation and quality, this is how MKWii and MKDS sold more than previous installments, many buyers of the Wii were new gamer and had never played a game before they just heard MK is good and gave it a try. This is how these games have good attach rate.

The important thing in you post was abandoning blue ocean. This is my point. Everything Nintendo accomplished with Wii was lost when they went back to making Gamecube-esque games. And it was the games why Gamecube did not sell. It was the games why Wii U did not sell.

Yes, people heard Mario Kart is a good game on Wii and DS and bought it, this is not what they hear about MK8. 

Now, I don't disagree with the branding and marketing being bad, but eventually nobody cared about the system because the games were bad.
