How has Nintendo done with their 1 year lead?

The only failure on Nintendo's part is the lack of major first party titles. If Pikmin 3 had not been delayed the system would be a much greater success by now. Also games like Wii Fit U and Mario Kart would have given the system millions more sales. This is the only failure so far, and it will be corrected in the coming months, where sales will pick up and all these doomsayers will be proven wrong yet again.

People put a lot of faith in Pikmin 3.  A fun series but has it ever really been a heavy hitter?

Both pikmin 1 and pikmin 2 sold over 1 million each, with pikmin 2 selling more than pikmin 1. I, personally, know a lot of people who are holding out on getting a Wii U until Pikmin 3 is out.
