they didnt meet them though. you cant project to make 1000 dollars before nex month so you can go to vegas on vacation then in a year finally getting the 1000 you needed and say "i made my projections"
you and that someone are mostly wrong. it probably cost more to produce the wii u now than they were expecting because of such slow sales. Also, like yakuzaice stated, look at ps3. the reason they keep increase hdd size is because smaller ones get more expensiv. they had to take out BC, memory card readers, glossy/chrome paint, usb slots justto cut price initially. then the bluray diode became cheaper to produce, andthe rsx and cell started making progress in shrinking them. which allowed sony to cut cost with the slim even further. Nintendo doesnt have much of those luxury on the wii u. it will not fall in costs as fast as you think.
