Right when I get some optimism around Nintendo's stock, I get knocked back down.

First the U limps into January with a 134k number.

Now I find out VGchartz adjusted down from 2.45m to 2.25 as of end Dec.

The total's at 2.38m now. With 14 weeks, just to hit 5m we need 187k/wk.

Not going to happen. Based on the above, I have to say Wii U will come in at 5m max...500k or more shy of goal.

When Nintendo announces a revision down on Wii U, I highly doubt investors will care about Q3 profits, which are expected.

Again, it's shipped to retailers that count. Nintendo most likely shipped over 2.75 million units to retailers in Q3. In comparison, Wii did 3.08, that's very healthy. Q4 should be between 1.25-1.75, but you are right, they won't hit their target. Nonetheless, if profitability is ensured, trust me investors will be more than happy. Nonetheless, before earnings the stock should go up as investors seem optimistic as shown by the 5% jump today.
