Shouldn't be too difficult to post a profit next year, then...

Same guy tweeted that Iwata ended the briefing by saying that the 3.6 million target is conservative and not Wii U's peak sales:

Iwata - the WiiU forecast of 3.6m don't think it is peak, wanted to be more conservative this year. Meeting ends.

No point in forecasting 3.6m if they expect to sell more. Lies.

There is good reason to put out a "conservative" estimate given where they're at. If they put their estimate at a level comparable to last year, they seem too out of touch.

They don't exactly expect to sell  a ton more, but they'll take what they know they can get.

Everyone knows that a breakthrough WiiU year could be in the cards -- but the odds of that are like hitting a straight flush. Ace in the pocket -- but we have no idea what's on the river.

We actually have. MK8 for May and SSB for holiday are the big guns for this year. 6 months one from the other apart.

NFP games could be for next year as they only expect to show some games in development. No confirmation of releasing this year and I'd add that no Zelda trailer confirmation for this E3. In fact, they didn't mentioned.
