Nintendo won't hit their forecasts. How did they get them so wrong?

Agree. You don't want to lowball too badly to show a lack of confidence in your product, but to vastly overestimate makes you seem deluded, unless there's something political at play in terms of Japanese investor relations that i don't know of.

The bigger question here is that Nintendo's been making way off-base predictions for like 3 years now. I don't get how they're still getting away with it.

Have they really been as bad as this though? It hasnt really come to my attention until this year (and somewhat last year)

They've never missed it by so much, but yes every year for as long as I can remember they've not hit it by at the very least 2m?
