I don't think PS4 demand is as high as we are lead to believe.

So luckily for us, ebay has the "Price trending at" feature that tracks prices for items over a 2 week period.

PS4: $585.78
XB1: $620.34

Clearly demand for the PS4 is higher than the XB1.

First of all, I never claimed X1 demand was higher.

 

Does that mean people are paying $620 for PS4, or is that the price people are trying to sell them for?

Because I'm seeing plenty of PS4's selling for under $450 - $500.

It means that, on average, over the last 2 weeks, that's the price that an item has sold for.  Supply has increased today because of the large amount that went on sale yesterday, so it's logical that prices have dropped today.  If no more supply comes this week, the price will go back up again.

In addition, looking at your links, the shipping on those are very high ($40-$60), so you need to add that to the price to the get the "demand" price.
