Why the fuk are PS5's still sold out everywhere?

[ISmokeTooMuch]

Surely a multi-billion dollar company can afford to make enough PS5s got damn.

I don't know chit about manufacturing but fuk I don't remember it being this bad last gen.

I wanna play Demon's Souls and next gen 2k21 fuark

[ChangeOfStyle]

Spoke to one of the blokes that works at EB Games down the road from my place and he said their are still about 1000's of orders of the PS5 preordered still waiting to be sent out and now just imagine that number in every other store that sells nex gen consoles and that's only in Australia where the population is like 23-26 million. Now imagine the U.S..

That's what the manufacturer's are dealing with lmao

[rocketfish]

xbox and ps5's are outselling the former ps4/xboxone when you compare them side by side from their release dates.. cpu's gpu's all sold out in seconds as well.. covid just has people gaming (gpu getting fuked by miners tho)

[thadderbox]

Scammers are alerted when in stock and bots buy out all they can.

[AlwaysFocus]

Do not buy from scalpers, force them to offload for no profit or sit on a loss.

[J411]

Even switches are hard to get right now and its been out for years. Both X box and PS5 are almost impossible to get still and will be for a long time. Apparently they just can't manufacture enough. Same goes for PC graphics cards as well. Most blame the pandemic. There are also shortages of semi conductors where even car makers are going to have to reduce the number of cars they make because they are having problems getting the computers they need to go in the cars. Its crazy.

[BigBallsMcgee]

high demand and scalpers.

Best console ever...... oh, and scalpers and Covid

[Merc009]

You gotta be as fast as a ninja bruh. I got a ps5 and SX and I will give you my trick...



Press F5 as fast as possible, don’t hit the refresh icon or ctrl+r as thats too slow.

Amen.

It's not a matter of money, it's a matter of principle.

Even if I were a multi-millionaire I still would not want to buy from a scalper just purely out of not wanting to put money in the hands of absolute scum bags, I'd do everything in my power to screw them over.

[Auburn RSX-S]

Also it's Chinese new year now so basically everything is shut down. No one is making anything.

[IronFeta]

This Christmas season will line Sony's pockets. They'll have abundance of stock by then.

Possible artificial scarcity + strong af demand.

[GoobyPls]

they should also try releasing some games

This only because there's not much to play on ps5 for the next few months.

But honestly people who got the cash to splash should just do it if they really want one. Better than trying to race NEETs online every time a few get dropped by walmart

2K7, 2K11, NBA Live 08

Seriously though, I've been playing NBA Live 19 or whatever the last one was and found it so cringey.
I recently watched a couple of NBA games and now I know why. I think if they made an Olympic style basketball game it would be so much better. NBA is such a ****ty league right now.

[Auburn RSX-S]

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU Brah's I just snagged a Spodermane PS5 combo on BB. Legit looked at the tweet and ignored it for a second and thought, what the hell, I'm just chilling at the office, I can pull up the page and see what happens.

Wanted the more aesthetic digital version but at least this way, with the disk version I can grab used games (which I did quite a bit of last gen). In b4 dat girthy boi

[JStrez]

I got a Series X and it's awesome, but yeah all next gen anythings are sold out rn. I don't get how in 2021 we still haven't figured out how to combat scalpers, its a fukkin joke. You'll reach a year of the console's life with a majority of people not actually having one.

[supup]

Boyos believe me i am fully erect, my ps5 arrived yesterday. I have demons souls and spiderman. Haven't had time to play yet.

My advice is to follow wario64 on twitter, and keep notifications on. He tweets when restocks happen with links, that's how i got mine. Took me about 10 days of following him to get my order placed successfully.

Seems like when they come in stock now they're doing things like limiting to 1 per person, or in the case of ps direct queues, 1 per playstation account.

Yes they're hard af to get but hold out hope my boyos and keep trying!

2k16 was the goat 2k

nba live was fukkin trash since ps2 days. nba is on point right now idk what you're talking about. just cause it's in the bubble doesn't make it any less entertaining to watch. the lack of crowds are making people like joe harris have the best season of his career

[yokecel]

I wouldn’t get any consoles right now ded srs. They’re all getting a class action lawsuit for controller drifting issues.

[MikeLowrrrey]

Tfw I've had a PS5 since November 12.

They aren't many games on it, I'm bored TBH

thats the best part of not being able to get a ps5/xbox series x.

Its very new with hardly any real "next gen" games. You get it then beat the one game and all of a sudden you just have a $500 ps4/xboxone that upscales older games in 4k. I did like 4 weeks of trying to find a ps5 before christmas and finally got one, now i'm like what do i play.

its just our human nature to want the latest thing, but in all honestly if I could go back, I would have waited to purchase the ps5.

You should sell it to someone who would get enjoyment out of it.

I can't find enough time to play mine and backlog looking thick and solid.

Nah because I want to play Mass Effect, Resident Evil, and the upgraded Cyberpunk 2077. There's also a couple others I have my eye on like Outriders & Returnal.

It's just a matter of waiting at this point. If you don't have a PS5 now you aren't missing out on much besides better frame rates.


Realistically I want a PS5 Pro now that way I get 4K, 60FPS, and Ray tracing at the same time.

But who was resolution, Raytracing, DualSense, and load times?
