MS and Sony don't need to raise prices. Scalpers already have in their place and I'm sure I could buy one right now with a click but don't really care to...

Holy smokes, you just said, hey, let's make this thing more expensive so poor people don't drive up demand. They are, after all, the only demographic that this would cause demand to fall in. There's going to be a big middle finger in this poll graph that you'll see, and just know that's it's coming from all the folks out there who love gaming and for whom it is absolutely a luxury and one they work very hard to afford. It's already bad enough that people can't get their hands on these devices because of bots and scalpers, but to take it another step further and intentionally raise it out of the financial capability for a group that already has it pretty bad just to make it better for a group that definitely has it less bad is a very,...bad take.

Chill out dude. A games console isn't a life-or-death thing. I can't afford a private jet and I imagine they're amazing but I'm not dying from lack of one.
