The PS3 was under stocked to increase demand

Well maybe it's the same thing here?

do you really believe there some chance nintendo is under stocking the wiiU.. after coming from their experience with their most successful console the wii which was sold out for a number of years? really now?.. lets try speaking reality here not make believe.

Nintendo may have began manufacturing relatively late, not been able to ramp up production to a level to supply a ton of units, or may have kept manufacturing capacity at modest levels until they know how the Wii U will sell. Ultimately I think the third possibility is relatively likely ...

With this said, that just means that they probably won't be producing dramatically more systems than they had for the Wii at launch. If Nintendo was being very confident you might see 50% more units produced for the Wii U than they had for the Wii.
