nah it probably won't work. Companies learn from their mistakes. WiiU had much more supply than Wii and never truly sold out. The black WiiU was only sold out during launch (Black Friday) but the standard SKU was always available.
360 was also very supply constraint in the US. I doubt MS will do the same mistake again.
As for Sony, the PS3 wasn't supply constraint as far as I know but it was delayed in Europe because they didn't have enough unit when it was supposed to launch.
Launch wise WiiU was also above 360 and PS3. I don't think that the new next gen consoles will do much more than 360 and PS3 during that timeframe.
Still early PS3 models were in high demand due to having more features than the latter SKUs. So you never know...
