If it was still difficult to manufacture and ship the consoles, prices would have to go up unless the companies ate the costs.Delaying them would have probably been smart if that ended up being the case.No way it'd go up by that much though. Manufacturing cost for a console is like $10, shipping is probably not too much more than that per console. Even doubling the costs would be less than $50 increase.
