3DS and Wii U cannot speak so if you have a point relevant to my post you needa say it yourself.

They had multiple forecasts that needed to be revised down and still didn't met the forecast. So Nintendo isn't always lowballing.

Or the 3DS and Wii U just sold so badly they couldn't even make the lowball estimate. Admittedly we don't know for 100% fact if they are or not so it's a matter of what you believe. What is fact though is it makes more sense to estimate a number you're most likely to reach than not as you want to meet goals to please investors, thus it also makes sense to assume they are always lowballing. I won't be surprised when even after adjusting their forecast up to 14m they still well exceed it.
