Those are some major software successes mixed with major harware shortcomings. I think the WiiU will actually meet or be close though - they didn't project 5.5 mil sold, but shipped. Right now they project to around 5 mil sold, so the rest of the shipped stock would be inventory.
In any case, in the big picture I think they will beat profit projections. Software is more valuable than hardware, and the weakened yen will be massive. If they yen exceeds 90 my year end - which is very likely - Nintendo's profit for the year could be double estimates. They will then probably be printing money in 2013-14.
