I'm not sure this tells us much, since the first buyers are usually the ones who don't care what it costs.

The big question is how long can it maintain the higher price, once the enthusiasts all have theirs.

Considering that the standard PS5 is still selling for higher than its launch price 4 years later (despite still facing challenges building up an exclusive library to justify the cost), I'd say that people are just dumb and will pay any price to have their shiny gaming console.

I kind of get that. I stopped buying PlayStations when the PS3 was so hard to get, for so long.

I've loved every PlayStation I've owned.
