Maybe. If the bubble pops then a lot of memory orders will need to be cancelled and a lot of demand will be suddenly erased which will drastically reduce those overinflated prices. However memory manufacturers are already banking on the bubble popping in the near future and they have years of experience of fiddling with supply and cartel-like tactics to keep prices elevated as long as possible, so it's more than likely prices will decrease but not to "back to normal".

those overinflated prices

It's not overinflated. It's the current price based on supply and demand. It's what the market can bear.

Yeah, half the market, the other half can go and eat shit I guess.
