No, that is not going to happen. That would be immense storage costs, losing revenue on hw and sw all the way. And they did survive last XMas so they will have to survive this Xmas whatever happens until December, as far as ramping up manufacturing is concerned.
An additional factor is the transfer to the 6nm refresh which they likely want to do as early a possible. You don't want to have warehouses full of "old" consoles when the better version comes out...
