I feel like they were probably counting on both Wii Fit and SM3DW to start really moving systems, and now they're scared that it isn't happening.  But you're right, I can't know unless we got a statement from them.

I would say they were counting more on SM3DW and ZeldaWWHD to move systems than WiifitU.

They shifted a few units to be sure but nowhere near the ridicilous amount Nintendo predicted at the start of the year.

Their is no way around it. A price cut+agressive advertising campaign are the only things that will start shifting units regularly for Nintendo.

Yeah, you're right.  I think it's only going to start really moving when it's at a really low price, it's got a huge stack of games, and everybody finally knows what it is.  I think a lot of people will end up picking one up, just not until later in the game.  A lot of people are hoping Smash and Marko Kart will do it, but I think it will probably hit its stride next holiday season at a $250 price point + game, and with the release of Zelda.  It stinks that the demand for it will never be very high, but unlike most people I do believe eventually the system will start being a really great value.
