The Official PlayStation 5 Thread: Age Of The PS5 Pro

[Grand Conde]

Some bad news brehs. Per Japanese Bloomberg: chip production issues will lead to an estimated 11 million PS5s made by March 2021, rather than the hoped for 15 million (basically drop of 4 million).

If I miss out on a pre-order

They were being too aggressive with the 15m number. 11m is still much more than the PS4. The talk of $399/$449 is also good. If that pans out then...

If I miss out on a pre-order

I will most likely have to get XSX in meanwhile

Is a Sony pre order safe?

I knew it

If you miss out on the PS5 at launch watch it be impossible to get one next year due to

1) production problems
2) too much demand
3) everyone stuck inside most likely next year so that will drive 2)
and everyone will want to be playing next gen games w/ almost no load times while they're stuck inside
4) COVID making it worse

I should be able to secure a PS5 at launch...right?

If I don't get one I know in my gut my prediction of the PS5 being IMPOSSIBLE to buy in 2021 will come true

If I can't get a disc PS5 and the DE is available...I might have to preorder it for security

^^^

you'll be lucky to get one
*sprints to computer to pre-order as preorders open at exactly X:X:5:9
DE all that's left

 

[FreshFromATL]

I've already prepared myself to have to settle for the XSX

 

[Deep_Black_Conscious]

I've already prepared myself to have to settle for the XSX

I would only consider that option if both the DE and PE PS5s are sold out
Or consider building my first gaming PC
