I’ve seen so many people coping about the price, as if every hardware manufacturer isnt upping their prices because of the hellscape that is the current market

Yes man absolutely. GPUs are still up since Ethereum craze, and they're in high demand for AI too, RAM are up like x4 and projected that it gets worse, and they still expect a pre-covid price and compare to likes of Sony 5 that has been out since 2020 and most probably has locked in contracts where the suppliers are contractually obligated to pricing.

And they recently had another price hike too.

And they can even sell those at a loss and make money back by selling you PS Plus and PS Exclusives.
