I suspect that, at minimum, they were sure it would do better than the Wii U. I think the fact it really exploded was something they could see happen, were happy it did, but weren't betting the farm on it like how the PS3, for example, had a lot of executives being very 'YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO FIND IT IT WILL BE SO BIG' about it.
The Democratic Nintendo fan....is that a paradox? I'm fond of one of the more conservative companies in the industry, but I vote Liberally and view myself that way 90% of the time?
