Nintendo cuts annual sales forecasts for 3DS, Wii
(Reuters) - Games company Nintendo Co Ltd on Thursday cut its forecast for annual Wii sales to 10 million consoles from 12 million.
It also cut its forecast for its latest handheld games gadget, the 3DS, to 14 million units from 16 million and for the previous generation DS handheld device to 5.5 million units from 6 million.
