I’d say low supply but higher than expected demand. If it were low demand, people wouldn’t be having a problem getting one.
Artificial scarcity is a thing.
Yeah, but Sony isn’t reaping the rewards for it, scalpers are. Artificial scarcity would make sense if Sony were jacking up their prices, but they’re not the ones doing that.
