No, not even Nintendo expect 10m (shipped) end of the year (and they have over estimated home console sales for about 6 years running)

Nintendo have been over-estimating... which is why they've underestimated this one. Pretty much everybody who saw Nintendo's forecast for 2014/2015 thought the same thing - they're lowballing their prediction because having to repeatedly go "We weren't able to reach our forecast" becomes tiresome and problematic. Forecasting 3 million and selling 5 million looks better than forecasting 10 million and selling 5 million.

They're low balling? IMO I've only heard that from Nintendo fans, who never at any stage thought WiiU sales would be like this or get lower than they have. I heard it all last year (WiiU will do 8m end of the year) and everyone was wrong.
All I'm saying is history and logic is on my side here.
History - Nintendo have missed their forecast for 6 years running.
Logic - WiiU has done very poor numbers since its inception and is still doing poor numbers. 60k a week is not good.
What do you have? Just your opinion 3.6m is low even though it's several hundred k higher than any year WiiU has been out yet?

Nintendo themselves said it was a conservative estimate, meaning they think it will do better but want to play it safe.
Its far from gauranteed but I still believe its possible, 9 million minimum by the end of the year.
