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

Well, tbh they did delay pretty much every single Wii U game they had for months and months and months. Perhaps when they gave those initial forecasts, they still expected to ship everything on time. That would've made a big difference.

What have they delayed into next FY?

DK and Wii Fit U are before March.

Not next fiscal year, I said nothing about that - just delayed for months and months, period. As seen last year, having a drought from the start of the year until late summer pretty much kills of any and all momentum. Doesn't need to be delayed into the next fical year at all; 8 months or so should do pretty nicely if you intend to have your sales come to a full stop. Nobody's buying a system with no content; if PS4 wouldn't get any games from now until august/september, it wouldn't sell, either.

Fair enough, so you think they're sales forever lost?

PS3 sold relatively well (like 9m first full year) with virtually no games, far less than WiiU has got for sure.
