Name another console that has demand this high after 18 months, and I'll grant you the point.
How about another piece of consumer electronics with a similar price tag that had demand that high after 18 months?
new iPods, Cell phones, the Gameboy advanced. Having shortages for 1.5 years simply doesn't happen for consumer electronics. There is nothing so complicated in there that you cannot up the production pretty fast if you are willing to pay. (Especially when you do not use some fancy new technology like BluRay or the smallest chip structures but true and tested core components)
Its of course possible that it would lower their margins a bit but seriously this gets ridiculous.
