@kowenicki: That's not what happened. Look at this excerpt:
Nintendo projected Wii console sales in the 12 months started April 1 will be little changed from 25.95 million last year, while those of software will probably increase 7.3 percent to 220 million titles.
Credit Suisse and Morgan Stanley estimated sales of 30.2 million and 29.1 million players respectively, with software sales of 292.5 million and 242.8 million titles. Nintendo forecast revenue will fall 2.1 percent to 1.8 trillion yen, the first annual drop in four years.

Nintendo forecasts sales of 26 million Wii consoles in the ongoing year, while CS/MS were expecting a forecast of 29.1-30.2 million. So this is just a number on a paper, which often gets raised later since Nintendo's initial estimates are usually conservative.
The article is a bit confusing, but from what I understood the only missed estimates which refer to actual results are on the profit side.
