Not really, remember the Wii U has only sold a little over 13 million and even with adding the 3DS units on top of that you only get 72.5 million which is about 18 million. But you have to remember they don't want to over produce, they don't want to under produce but there is more danger in over production. So the production can be ramp up or slowed down as needed but it takes time. Over producing causes you warehouses to fill up and then they would have to stop production. That happened with the Gamecube near the end of its life it before it was getting a little traction in sales so Nintendo got bullish and had way too many made and they had to stop production for several months until the excess could get sold off. But the news that they stoped production essensially was the last nail in coffin for the console and it killed any momentum they had before. And its not like they will stay at that production level that is just the initial flow.
