Q: How do I get a PS5?

A: You cant.

Seriously, PS5s are sold only a few times per year, and even so, the requirements for finding one are very steep.

They JUST said that, or they predicted I would make this topic? Is that the power of ray tracing?

Yes, eventually they will. Scalpers will stop buying them out, when people stop buying at inflated prices.

No reason to own a PS5. As someone who's bought and resold dozens.

No reason to make a new topic, how long does the average PS4 last?

I bought mine in 2016.

It won't be until they're sold in brick and mortar stores. They're still going to be hard to find for awhile, but at least that's not affected by bots

It's going to be quite some time. At least a year, maybe even two or three, before you really can just walk into a shop and buy one. The chip shortage is going to have an effect on any electronic device you may want.

nah if you have a ps4 that's the best reason to get a ps5. Quieter + faster load times as you work through your backlog waiting for a ps5 game to be worth it.

this chip shortage will have to end sooner or later.

either way, it aint like there's much of an incentive to get a PS5 atm...

Nah, wait for the revisions the console will go through. Launch consoles are beta tests.

It's not gonna end for a while according to experts. Every article I've seen says at least another year is likely.

i think the chip shortage stuff is overblown. already seeing more inventory around here, people i know have been able to order one on their first try whenever they're back in stock. supply seems to be increasing again for stuff.

:fingerscrossed:

it will end summerish next year. 2 new factories are being built stateside that will be ready early 2022. Then they've got to catch up on all the backorders.
