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

If you look at the Wii U situation at least, Nintendo is completely incapable of reading the market.

Why is Nintendo incapable of reading the market? The Nintendo Wii U just need more games, like it was with the Nintendo 3DS!!! And it's NOT Nintendo's fault that 3rd Party developers are not able to make great games for the Nintendo Wii U and are only able of makeing awful console ports with no support!!! And Nintendo can not make all the games alone which the Nintendo Wii U really needs to get more sales because at least Nintendo is not EA and they make quality games instead of rushed ports or something!!!

You're joking, right? Please tell me you're joking.

Sorry, i am not joking ;) It was the same with the Nintendo 3DS. First everyone said the Nintendo 3DS is a failure, and after the Nintendo 3DS got more and more games the sales started to getting better. And you know how it is now ;) It's always about the games!!! The Nintendo Wii U just need more awesome games!!! It doesen't matter if the games are from Nintendo or 3rd party developers, as long as there are awesome everything will be fine ;)

Big difference.  The 3DS was never an unappealing piece of hardware, it's main problem, more then lack of games was it's $250 price.  Yes games came along with the price cut, so you can say the games had more impact than the price cut if that's how you want to view it, but the main problem was that the price was too high for a dedicated handheld, but the hardware itself was never undesirable like the Wii U is to many, regaurdless of price.  I could have bought the Skylander/Nintendoland bundle for $199cdn, even at that price It still didn't appeal to me.  Of course that's just me, but I'm sure others feel the same way.  I should note that I have been a die hard Nintendo fan since the 80's & this is the first Nintendo console I just have zero interest in.
