Perhaps you should listen to what you just said. Wii U had DK, Wii Fit, Wii Party, and Mario. A Mario game, by the way, while in spite of being awesome, many people were just not that enthusiastic for, because they felt it was too similar to 3D Land, and thus the hype was far less than it could have been, on account of many folks simply not considering 3D World to be the TRUE "next gen 3D Mario". So in other words, as has been stated many many many times before, Wii U, price cut or not, simply has NOT had the games to really sell it to the masses in droves. That is also to say nothing of the relative lack of serious ad media in NA.
And yes, they can/are "lowballing" their investors, at least in the sense that if they set their sales expectations low, and exceed them, it makes them come out smelling like roses. You act as if they're going to get in trouble for a twisting of honesty or something, when quite frankly, their OVER-optimistic sales forecast for last year was far too generous, and not being entirely honest, if you want to put it that way. So yeah, "lowballing" the expected figures is a far better approach. If they honestly didn't expect MK8 and SB to have that big of an impact, then why the hell would they even be bothering? They'd just do what so many of you have (hilariously, and erroneously) suggested, and pull a Sega, abandoning Wii U, and rushing out new hardware that would (obviously) magically change everything and do great.
