In Japan, a notorious and No1 import agency called "ASK" does this operation for video cards. They sets higher prices at launch (3060Ti/3070 is 30%-40% expensive than US' MSRP) and finally decreases the prices. As a result, now we can easily buy any 3060Ti/3070, and 3080 if you don't choose brand, but expensive. What's interesting here is that sold price in Japan is sometimes far cheaper than scalper's price in US.

What you're describing is called a Dutch auction.

Microsoft and Sony should have offered their new consoles using this method. Start at a very high price like $10,000, decrease the price until people start buying, resume decreasing the price when demand is satisfied, and repeat as needed.
