In fairness, the Wii is underperforming in Japan, as Iwata will tell you. This "sky is falling" nonsense that so many are eagerly seizing is silly, of course, but the Wii has plenty of room for growth in Japan, if Nintendo (and sadly, it will have to be Nintendo) can find a way to trigger it. Iwata's shown tremendous confidence, even cockiness, recently, so they definitely think they have an ace in their hand, but then they recently misjudged the impact of Animal Crossing and Wii Music, so there is some space for doubt.
Personally though, I wouldn't bet against Iwata on this one.
