The game didn't sell systems because Nintendo treated 2D Mario like trash. Despite the series selling insane numbers on Wii and DS, Nintendo didn't put any care into the 3DS and Wii U games, basically copy-pasting the formula that was established with New Super Mario Bros. on the DS. And quickly after the release of the Wii U game, they released Mario 3D World and pushed that with huge amounts of marketing. Nintendo needs to put the care and production values of 3D Mario into the 2D games and the series will sell like sliced bread again. 2D Mario (if done right) is still Nintendo's biggest and most iconic franchise - but people won't put up with sub-par quality and the same recycled formula over and over again.
