Fwiw, part of this is a supply issue. Not to say there isn't high demand, but even if Sony immediately sells out every PS5 they produce this year, it's unlikely they sell more consoles than last year.

Yeah this. Sony doesn't want to take too much of a loss on console sales so is limiting how much they produce. I do wonder like last time if they will follow Xbox and increase the price again later this year or early next year. 

More fundamentally i think there is a hard limit to what they can actually produce as the materials needed to make more may simply not be available.  And to your point the actual cost Sony would need to pay for more supply may exceed what they want to pay...let alone what the are willing to subsidize.
