To be fair, if this keeps up, expect the price of a PS5 to skyrocket too.

  Hopefully Sony has long-term contracts for their components. I presume they have an idea of how many PS5s they're going to be making still.

      Because, unless this changed, consoles are loss-leaders. At least back in the ps2/gamecube/OG Xbox, the systems were sold at a loss and the money was recouped on controllers and games. Can’t use a ps2 controller to play a ps2 game on a ps2 without the ps2 console. If this is still true or not, I don’t know. I do know that the ps5 with an optical drive cost $100 more than the digital edition. I also know that the drive does not cost $100 and sincerely doubt the labor makes up the difference. So maybe I talked myself out of my whole point.
