I doubt limited supply was their concern when they were designing the hardware, maybe at best something like what we saw with the Deck or PS5 where eventually regular stock became available, obviously the AI shortages may change this.
Frankly I...
I heard some comments in the past saying it would be 'priced like a PC', haven't heard anything definite though.
