Its funny that lower consumer demand in this case is expected to increase prices. While high demand, we see the same increase in price. In short, it doesn't matter whether its demand or supply. It is up to them to determine prices.
In my opinion, if demand is low and they forcefully increase prices, the manufacturer will be on the losing end since technology moves on very quickly. If you have an overstock of components that will be obsolete in a year or 2, they will eventually have to write it off or clear them off cheaply.
