It would face too much backlash to raise the prices now by $50. Maybe adding a premium model with 2tb storage, a second controller in the box and a couple games for $200 more might be possible to meet demand at that price point. It's a big initial price, but you end up paying that anyway in the long run.
However Sony and MS are probably fine with the way it is atm, no shelf life is the best you can have. No point in having more expensive models sitting on shelves when you can sell everything as fast as you can manufacture them.
It sucks they can't meet demand. If MS and Sony haven't been stockpiling consoles for the upcoming season, it will likely be another 6 months before I see one in shops here :/
Now if that add would kindly piss off, I could click post reply...
