I am just going to wait until the prices go down in the fall and there is still plenty left and then buy a PC instead.

This makes no sense. Why would a company want their product to be sold out? The goal is to balance supply and demand. So they SHOULDN'T sell out. It's not a limited edition product or anything. This post is sensationalized as fuck.

I think they're implying a comparison to the PS4. It was notoriously difficult to get a PS4 for months after it's release because it was constantly sold out

Thank you, forgot the PS5 has been out for a while lol

I think that the perfect storm of high demand and low supply ha. I'm sure Sony didn't want that outcome.

He's saying that it's a good thing it hasn't sold out yet, allowing it to have plenty of supply for Christmas season. It's a good thing due to the PS5 previously being sold out everywhere last Christmas.

While I think it's still too high a price point for me personally, it's at least a logical increase in price because supply and demand has caused it to be increased.

My ps5 is collecting dust. I wish it was more like a Steam machine.
