Well if Nintendo has inventory issues then they were in trouble already. Let's not forget that having a couple thousand extra cars can cost billions while have a couple thousand extra wiis won't. I doubt Nintendo has too many issues with inventory. Generally they are pretty conservative and tend to drop their predictions anyway. I am sure they see the trends and know not to make excess consoles. They probably won't release a prediction decrease for some time though due to not wanting to worry share holders.
Finally even if Nintendo failed to sell any consoles and remained stubborn about its shippment, they would at worse lose 6.5 billion dollars. If I remember the financial report that is about what they made last year. So they would be in the negatives but it wouldn't be that drastic. That is the most extreme case anyway. Profits will probably be down but I can't see them being in the red.

By my calculations, the worst they can do is be 3 million under their projection. Based on speculative manufacturing costs, that would equal out to just $500 million. Considering they'll still have almost $5 billion in sales, they can eat the $500 million if it comes to that.
But it won't have to as they'll still hit their projected target.
