Hurr look at all the hype the PS5 caused, people scrambling for preorders!

Yeah because they arbitrarily decided to open up preorders with little to no warning (apparently almost no retailers were told in advance) then didnt give enough preorder amounts so people are scalping them for $700-800 on eBay

Sony wanted Nintendo-level marketing and yall are like putty in their hands

Im at least glad Xbox has a plan. Next Tuesday at 11AM, and store stock will be independent from online stock.

It would have sold out regardless. I'd say it was more due to just plain incompetence with how they handled it with retailers more than anything purposeful.

I plan on getting the series x for my son or at least try and I agree, the way sony went about with the preorder stuff is a clusterfuck.

Honestly it wasn't even hard to preorder them

I got two orders in barely trying (I canceled one, chill)

Some of us were at work and had no time at all by the time we found out we could pre-order one.

It's not so much that it was hard. They said that they were doing preorders the following day. So a lot of people went to bed or went about their day. Then preorders suddenly opened and if you weren't ready in that window were shit out of luck.

I feel for the people in the UK and Europe who went to bed after the news preorders would open the following day only to wake up and find out they were all sold out.

Blame should be more at retailers than Sony

Maybe but why were they able to allocate preorders a day early? Like what's stopping Walmart from saying that preorders for Xbox are open now? There must be some sort of safeguard that Sony ignored surely.
