They've done this in the past. Between 1998 and 2002, DRAM manufacturers conspired to fix prices and were sued by the DoJ. The companies included Samsung, Hynix, Infineon, Micron, and others. They coordinated through phone calls and meetings to set prices and limit supply and that directly caused harm to consumers [0]. Curious what we get out of the lawsuit discovery, but now we only have 4 players so hopefully it will be obvious if they're playing the same game. Price fixing seems seems like the easy button when you look at the margins per product over the last couple of years.

Gamers Nexus has done a lot of reporting on it as of late [1][2].
