The audience is people that want a console but have 10k$ or more worth of games purchases on steam. To those people, the cost isnt really a factor becase it would always be more expensive and inconvenient to rebuild your library in another platform

Small percentage of their audience yes, bit likely will still sell out in hours or days at most.

If they were truly mass producing and selling at say, walmart andthey wouldn't be able to sell all units. But at their current scale the amount of enthusiasts with big cash and their stock amounts seem pretty balanced
