The point you are trying to make doesnt hold much weight.

Yes, they overestimated Wii U shipments but Switch is not Wii U and they have underestimated its launch and first year shipments so its comparing apples to oranges.

my point just because a company forecast something doesn't mean it will come true, especially this early. 

That news article is about the quarterly report at the end of October 2013, which is 11 months after Wii U launched. What are you even talking about?
