It definitely different, though. At least, from regular stores. Idk why you would think theyre the same... blu posted... Anyways its not like more than 5-10% of PS5s are even going to scalpers. Theyre not the reason we cant get one, its just low supply. Its probably more than people think. Scalpers will go to multiple stores with their families to secure multiple systems. Its shitty... likehelly posted... pandemic notwithstanding, the only time there's never enough consoles at launch is with nintendo consoles. both sony and microsoft usually always have enough to meet demand, but given the state of the world right now, it's not unusual that they have production issues that impact unit numbers. This is actually pretty wrong. Idk why people always believe this. I remember when the Wii came out, my Target had 64. But had less than 20 for whichever system Sony and Microsoft had released. And at pretty much all stores, it was the same. A couple of Sony/Microsoft system, and couple more for the Wii... People were actually able to get the Wii Console, while struggling to even find the other 2... And the reason I mentioned Target is because I worked there (the Wii release night, as well), so I knew the actual numbers for the Wii. While I dont remember the exact numbers for the other two, they were low. And even together, had less than the Wii Console. Even at other stores in town, it was like that... And thats if they even got them. Some stores didnt get consoles, or only had 1. Except they usually had at least a couples Wiis, even if they didnt have the other 2. The only time I really heard about a console shortage was for the Switch. And even then, it was just because everyone wanted one at the same time... party_animal07 posted... Meh. I blame the people buying marked up consoles more than them. One can't exist without the other. True. If people stop buying from Scalpers, then they stop being a problem... --- Official King of Kings Switch FC: 7216-4417-4511 Add Me because I'll probably add you.
