It's doing fine, it just isn't going to provide the same kind of "Switch boost" other IPs like Zelda and even 3D Mario got. 

The criticism that it's already being outsold on a weekly basis by older titles like Minecraft and Mario Kart and Smash Bros. is kinda fair though, that probably is something you wouldn't expect to be happening on the regular. 

I honestly think wonder is gonna hurt the franchise. 2d mario has become for casuals and the over world is annoying to navigate, plus the wonder seed makes the level messy. My sister is a super casual was like she likes NSMU better.

That may be anecdotal though. In the end, Nintendo stated in February that Wonder is the fastest selling Mario title ever. It's still chugging along in the charts despite the Switch being 8 years old and is supposed to be in decline. I think Nintendo is not as worried as some of are here in this thread. It's likely going to sell maybe around 16-18 million in the end of its life when it released so late into the Switch's life cycle. Its a highly received game, which I'm sure the 2D Mario devs, especially the younger ones, can hang their hat on
