Nintendo not reacting to the massive YoY decrease the Wii got and not changing the projections to a reachable estimate. I'm honestly surprised they aren't doing anything to keep sales up, or at least so far things haven't gone as planned.
I believe they are making the same mistake they made last year, which was only relying in 2 games for the whole FY Q3/Q4 periods (October - March). They have been releaseing less and less games each year since 2007, this year hitting an all time low of 4 new games only in the USA. (Wii Fit+ is not really a new game, it's basically the same game with some new activities, that's why it costs 20 bucks).
Hopefully they will change their strategy by next year, because making the same mistake 2 consecutive times was really unexpected for a company like Nintendo, and they are paying it with an almost 4 million FY over FY decrease that will most probably grow through March (next FY).
