Personally, I don't know why they are introducing new controllers for people to buy when many people still can not even find a PS 5 Game System to buy yet!!!! Our family has been trying to get one of the new PS 5 game systems for months and no luck yet. I think they need to make the Game System more and readily available for people to buy. JMHO!
That's an excellent question SS. Obviously they're still making money from the original purchases made by bots, scalpers, etc, so they're not seeing the bigger problem yet. However, I think there was the idea to release new controllers shortly after the console itself to begin with so I imagine they're just going through with that plan.
It's also an issue of chips. I believe there is still a chip shortage out there because of the pandemic so they're slower to roll out consoles than in years past, so what little stock gets made and released is snatched up so it feels like what Nintendo will do to create that need to buy something since it's "limited."
However, these statements are just my two cents.
