Cleaver analysis.  Basically you are saying that Sony has to keep the price up because it can't meet demand.  Mat suggests that the amount of units sold will already be equal to the amount of stock.  They are already going to be in the whole with no stock.  Lowering the price worldwide would make the supplying the PS4 completely unsustainable.    

Then they should do more PS4.

It depends on when they can get parts at the right prices..... sony might be waiting for options to present themselves (ei. so they maximise their profits).
Theres a downside to this ofcourse, if you dont predict sales expectations right, you run into shortages (which can then be costly to correct).

Sony/MS/Nintendo probably buy in bulk quantities whenever prices of units are at low points.
If someone else is currently buying parts ect or the prices arnt right they might just wait..... until their forced to buy
(and then they ll do it in small amounts, until prices allow them to buy large quanities again).

Stuff like that can lead to shortages, or to limiting choices, so they ei. dont do a price cut and just sell massive amounts.
