That's what he's getting at: If 100% of your stock is selling, that generally means you can increase the price without losing sales. You'll eventually hit a point where less than 100% sells, at which point you've overpriced it, but until that point is reached, you can go higher.
yeah. that's a dangerous game to play though, especially with something like a console where it's not just about the sale of the console, but the sale of games down the road. there is more reason than a normal product to increase the number of sales and not just profit from sales.

(maybe even more than just sale of games; the whole "life" of the console depends directly on number of purchases; online experience, demand for new games, etc. (may even be contributing to the overall problem; not sure of the actual cost of a console but it is likely already being sold at low or even negative profit margins, hence the huge demand))
