Dikitain 11/25/20 8:23:49 AM #10:	You should never buy a console at launch anyways, always wait about a year for any kinks to be worked out in the second production run. By then, the supply will be so high that you never have to worry about 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.

Scalpers are buying it solely to stop others from buying it to try to squeeze extra money out of them. Not only that, but collectors usually only buy one or 2.

It looks like a prank designed to get more viewership. Xfma100 posted... While I dislike scalping, the real issue is that gaming companies never produce enough consoles at launch. No, it's more a matter of scalpers creating an artificial shortage. It's how arbitrage works. 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. Popular consoles have generally had difficulties in meeting demand, although a large part of that is scalpers impacting the overall supply. The only time they don't is when it's not popular, largely because scalpers are less likely to impact the overall supply. blu posted... Meh. Theyre just a middle man. Doing the same as any other reseller. Shouldnt hate them because its individuals instead of a company. 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. It's not the same thing by any stretch of the imagination. If it was, they'd be selling at MSRP instead of several times over MSRP and have a direct relationship with the consolemaker. --- (\/)(\/)\|-\| There are precious few at ease / With moral ambiguities / So we act as though they don't exist. <cite>Zeus posted [p:947596503] in All the PS...
