But they haven’t…

This isn’t a luxury controller, and its priced lower than the Xbox Elite controllers. Furthermore, they’re not taking preorders, so the sales aren’t confirmed

If they were selling them at 2.5x the price, it would make sense to maintain a level of “prestige” and luxury surrounding them… They’re not though, and the high demand already exists.

There are more likely specific chips on them that are constrained for now (because unlike Nintendo, they aren’t using cheap garbage that drifts after 6 months and overpricing the controller)
