Nintendo cuts sales target for Wii U, 3DS, DS consoles

Nintendo Co Ltd cut its Wii U sales forecast for the year to March to 4 million consoles from a previous forecast of 5.5 million. It also dropped its 3DS sales estimate to 15 million consoles compared with the 17.5 million it had earlier projected, and downgraded its DS sales expectations to 2.3 million from 2.5 million in October.
