The demand for the PS5 is way bigger than Sony anticipated

[Fly]

I can say with 100% confidence sony gonna keep us fed all of 2021 and a lot of nikkas that don’t have consoles now gonna be in their feelings

Why?

 

[ALonelyDad]

The first day was the easiest to get it, I kind of regret hesitating. People bought like 20-30 from Target

 

[Grand Conde]

Why?

Why what.

 

[SNG]

I’m surprised I got this shyt right on launch day considering how hard it is to get. Even the series X is impossible to find. I have a feeling both PS5 and Series x will do better than their predecessors if they can keep up with the demand.

I’m mad I didn’t pre-order, the stock scarcity was an inevitability in hindsight

I should have bought 5 or 6
They are going to sell for anywhere between 1500-2500 this holiday

they had to have some general idea it was gonna get this crazy...

I think covid and everyone staying home supercharged it but the ps4 launch was similar I had to wait until the next year and the price drop happened to cop one...

COVID-19 caused the global supply of Switches, a 3 year old console, to dry up overnight. And it's still that way, 8 months later.

Sony's bullshytting. They absolutely saw this coming. Same with MS. This a supply-side constructed shortage to build hype, Nike-style.

Covid also affected supply chains all over. Plus, considering they're taking a loss on the intial consoles, I'm sure they're not going to want to over do the supply amount. Be easy, fool.

I'll give you the supply chain issues; things got a lot tighter for Foxconn. But selling at a loss is something they make up for pretty quickly on their high profit margin items like first party titles and controllers. Spider-man: Miles Morales didn't exactly have TLOU2's dev time or price tag.

The hard truth is that these launches are tight on purpose. It's been this way since the N64.

There's some tightness strategy to it for sure, but they're pumping out 11 mill consoles in less than 6 months. That's an absurd amount as is.

Didn’t Sony say before launch that they were shipping out more PS5’s then PS4’s this time around?

 

[Pimp]

I have a ps5 and while it's good... If you want great... Get a Nvidia 3080...

Yeah, that is more and they were going to do 4 mill more than that, but Covid fukked up everything.
