I donno how much NVIDIA specifically benefits from the artificial high prices since scalpers are the ones selling them at a markup.

As stated above, it's not about who makes money this generation. It's about normalizing the higher price point for next generation.

It’s about normalizing the higher price point for next generation.

Funny way to say, "release at a price point the market will bear". The scalpers shown nVidia that the market is willing to pay more, close to double. If the market pays that, then guess what, it's not 'normalization of higher prices' it's 'market rate'.
