They probably just saw scalpers on ebay flipping their PS5 Pros for inflated prices and thought "wow, we gotta get in on that action".

It's just greed.

Random tangent, but I always find it funny when people complain about others (or in this case a company) being greedy as if we wouldn’t do the exact same thing ourselves if placed in such a position. Like if you can sell your PS5 Pro for $1,399USD, then why would you charge anything lower than that? Unless we’re talking about a friend or a relative. I mean, are you not just losing money at that point? And for what purpose? Because you are “fighting for the consumer!”? Got off that high horse lol we’re talking about a luxury gaming gadget, not insulin.

…anyways lol: Sony just needs to stock more systems. Then we wouldn’t have this issue of prices being so high.

For what it's worth, my stance is that if you buy something just to sell it for a higher price, that's scummy, but if you sell something you didn't buy just to profit later and happen to profit while doing so (or decide to sell because you realize it's so profitable), that's OK - exactly for the reason you said.
