Current MSRP of Z9 and R3 due Chip shortage?

With both cameras it could be possible that the current MSRP of both or just one is much influenced by the current chip shortage.

The MSRP of both, without the current chip hell, could be fundamentally different - we don't know.

Maybe canon priced it in much higher than Nikon or not at all.

Maybe the Z9 without mechanical shutter leads to a  production cost not much higher that an Z5.

Maybe the R3 would have priced 1000 bucks less in a normal world.
We also have no clue how much demand they both have planned.
We know only that the market is totally f. up with everything which needs silicon inside.
