Mrwhoistheboss says that margin rose from 30 to 80% for memory companies and that the playstation price may increase from 400 to 1000. Does that really add up?

Its true, but we've seen some of the demand is artificial.

Different chip manufacturers are allegedly withholding stock of various parts and saying they dont have enough. Samsung and a bunch of other companies got caught in the early 2000's as part of a DRAM cartel and had to pay fines. There are rumors that this is happening again but im not sure if anything substantial has come to light yet
