The important part of that article was completely missed.

"Chief Executive Officer Satoru Iwata, 52, reduced the full- year net income forecast 70 percent "

Nintendo are finally getting bitten for continuing bad market practise in an evolving market.

I think they were betting heavily on NSMB2 + 3DS XL skyrocketing the 3DS especially in the US, but from the report, Iwata sounds a bit frustrated that they can't get the US market going, especially relative to the fact that it's 3x-4x the market size of Japan.

Nintendo doesn't have much to worry about. Imagine how how stressed the guys at Sony are right now.

So what? The 3DS won't sell as much as DS. Bo-hoo. I say sales are healthy and they will only increase over time.
