I’d say low supply but higher than expected demand. If it were low demand, people wouldn’t be having a problem getting one.

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.

Uhh, 200$ for a piece of junk sounds a lot like a lot to me, and enough to be considered "jacked".
