Why are you lying?

They have downgraded their shipment forecasts before.  Several times.

nintendo shipped 300k for a quarter and remianed with a 10 million forcast when there was 0 chance to make the forecast.

Yeah, I remember especially during the Wii U era, going from like 9-15 millions to 2-3 millions.

If you check the Earnings report for 2013, the Wii U forecast for Apr '13 to Mar '14 stands at 9 million in the first and second quarter reports and then falls down to 2.8 million in the third quarter report. 

So your statement that Nintendo never lowers their sales forecast was (of course) false. It does seem that they bank a lot on the third quarter to meet their expectations and will only lower their forecast if their holiday period is disappointing.
