Considering that nintendo expects to sell 3 million Wii U this year with Mario Kart and Smash Bros, I don't think so.

Iwata clearly stated that they are taking a very conservative approach to their current predictions after getting burned twice from their previous predictions.  The projected numbers don't look good but they should be able to at least match or beat it when they announce their next quarterly results.

Twice?  Iwata/Nintendo have missed every initial hardware forecast for the past five fiscal years.  It is about time they start living in the real world, though their 3DS forecast still seems optimistic considering its current state.

Do you mean their next yearly results?  Because their next quarterly results probably won't be great unless they manage to convince retailers to take hundreds of thousands of MK bundles.

Oops, has it been last 5 years?  I just remembered the two most recent ones (mainly dealing with Wii U projections).
