I read an interesting explanation on reddit somewhere that posited this is the result of a small group of devoted enthusiasts basically wash trading: They sell the games to each other back and forth for extremely high prices to make it seem like there's an insane amount of demand for them, in order to make that a self-fulling prophecy.
Whether that's true or not I have no idea, but it's certainly plausible.
