@@connorbanepoop The government is already doing this with not only the elderly with this sham “pandemic,” but has been doing this with chronic pain patients for some time now... The CDC is now refusing doctors the right to prescribe long term pain management patients over 90 morphine milligram equivalent of meds, despite the fact they have not been abusers and need the higher dosage due to tolerance. They are unanimously all tapering every single patient to be under this limit, no matter their situation/weight/height/tolerance/condition, which is causing many of them to off themselves or to go to the streets (which always ends up badly with what that stuff is mixed with). I’m disabled with a destroyed back from a failed back fusion surgery by a corrupt surgeon, and am on daily opiates for quality life for the last 17 years - I am being greatly affected by this CDC mandate. Because of what they are doing, I honestly don’t know if I will be here on this planet by Christmas time this year (2021). They began reducing my medicines around spring of last year (2020). I’ve been through three doctors since, and every doctor is terrified that they will lose their license if they don’t continue doing this to me. There have been countless people who have offed themselves because of this, due to uncontrolled pain, or they self-medicate by going to the streets (which is always mixed with dangerous crap and leads to unintentional ODs - not to mention that the street stuff is terrible for your organs and such, which opiates are not when they are taken responsibly... Last year I had a thorough work-up where they tested my heart, liver, and blood, and everything looked normal after 17 years of being on methadone and oxycodone - I also took Darvocet for about 6 years prior to help control my pain before I got the back fusion surgery that messed me up waaayyy more).

To give context, out of 100 microchips manufactured only 2 actually make it through production due to imperfections and cracks in the silicon chips. That will of course effect the performance or at worse make them unusable. In my opinion we just need to find something to replace silicon that will give a better yield of usable microchips.
My Xbox One crapped out on me last week. My options are a used Xbox (suicidal), a new console (hard to find and expensive), or a new GPU (harder to find and significantly more expensive). It's fun.
scalpers were a big part of it with the initial launch, even now scalpers are using bots to grab items as soon as they drop. as of right now retail doesn't seem to care about trying to stop them as they get units sold and then get more allocated, as for graphic cards they were big for crypto until recently with the chinese clampdown. doesn't help that production was stopped for a short time and even more things are having chips just because they can. do you really need your fridge to tell when eggs are out or to be capable of playing skyrim
Yeah its all about competition, company who makes cars, appliances, and consoles etc, want their products to be the fanciest unfortunately. To me i just want a fridge that works a car that works dont need any of the other shit with it. # people are spoiled as hell smh.
It's literally in the video how scalp units are no more than 250 thousand, less than 5% of total units sold. Scalpers are a very minor part of the problem. If there were literally no scalpers, the shortage would be exactly the same
@@franciscodelico That number is only the amount of confirmed, sold, scalped units. There is no way to know at point of sale from a retailer if it's "to a consumer" or "to a scalper" so there's no way of knowing how many of these things are sitting in some scalping prick's living room waiting for sales on eBay. The provided figures do not take into account the thousands of them that are still floating around on online marketplaces that are still unsold. The number of scalped units is far bigger than that.
I pre ordered my PS5 and I got it in feb. everyone was saying that they hype would die down and that it would be easier to get one after a few months. I got a feeling about the launch and I’m kinda glad I stuck to it. Considering how many people wanted one who didn’t get one, I definitely consider myself lucky.
Also a lot of companies canceled their order and now have lost their place in line such as Ford. We also can’t forget about China flooding and it’s not a great environment to produce an electronic component. That’s why they chose Arizona to build a new facility because it’s a dryer climate.
There is also the case of companies hording chips for releases/trying to build up inventory so that they don't have a paper launch. Right now we've got a factor of supply and demand wherein the demand is so high that ANY graphics card could effectively become a best seller and rake in all the money as long as it's atleast marginally better than that from two generations ago, hell even the gtx 1650 is still being sold out at nearly twice the MSRP and it's only ramping up the closer we get to the holidays.
I work at one of these semi-conductor fabs. I won't say which but one of the issues we're having is we are yielding higher than usual which causes less binned lots. Not all chips are made equally.

There isn't just a chip shortage but an electronic components shortages. Up until a month and a half ago, I was a console modder and I can tell you, many, many products got delayed or are in short supply and it's not just because of arm chips. As an example, I tried to make a PIF chip for the N64, used 4 suppliers ended up with 70% of the components I needed having a 2022 ETA and that was back in June 2021 or around that time... Up to a year of wait to get some connectors, just a plastic part with some gold connectors in it, nothing fancier. One of the parts I used all the time were 1µF 50V capacitor, they are so prevalent that EVERY chip you've ever seen has one next to it, I had troubles sourcing them this year... Not sure if people can realize what this really means, it's like a restaurant not being able to find napkins or ketchup... It's that bad and insidious. My point is that the current situation is more complex than just chip shortages, maybe chips will be plentiful again in 2023 but what about every other supporting component? What good are your arm chips if you can't provide current to them?... There might be a point where components couldn't be made because of the lack of chips and the subsequent shortage of components will render chips useless... Yeah, it's a worse case scenario but think about what happened these past 2 years, we stopped the economy like morons, if that can't create "worst case scenarios", nothing can ever and your world is just wonderful and everyone is always happy all the time and I'd like to take part in that...

The most frustrating part is seeing hundreds of social media influencers that have no involvement in gaming have MULTIPLE PS5 consoles for special giveaways… nothing short of complete BULLSHIT
My dad back in 99' was the head project manager for building a BSL 4 lab for a chip manufacturer in Kaohsiung, Taiwan, just as they were really starting to do more advanced chips. Fun year abroad.
I managed to get my hands on a PS5 but my area doesn’t have much competition so I was able to get one. It took a month or so but target dropped at like 5:30am one morning when I happened to be awake and picked it up the same day.
@@TheDarkGreenMarine the PS5 stock alerts Twitter. Didn’t get it till early February and was trying through all January. I initially gave up around mid December because I thought the holiday season rush wouldn’t make the effort worth anything and decided to pick it back up after New Years.
I got a ps5 a couple months ago. Godspeed to the ones still trying to get one. It took me a month straight and buying a bundle from gamestop... but I got one for retail. I hope those of you can get one. Xbox, gpu, whatever. Keep trying don't let the scammers win
I work for a firm that make substrate etch/dep machines. We can’t make them fast enough atm. We have a lot more machines going to Japan, they are trying to make more domestically and cash in on US/China sanctions. We’re aiming to deliver a number of tools early next year. But ironically, we have supply issues. Real chicken & egg shiz
It’s the international chip shortage, it’s difficult to get new chips manufactured Suppliers have decreased due to being unable to complete and outsourced manufacturing of the components to TMSC, and with the pandemic there was a surge in demand for goods that require chips Definitely not just demand of consoles, but chips generally, everyone from automative, payments, military (which likely has priority), data centres needing more load capacity (due to everyone being home), everything It would be generous to say console demand is a major factor in itself, imo its one if the big reasons Nintendo just released the OLED model instead of doing a pro model
Depends on what you consider a "legitimate" purchase. IMO any console payed over retail, or any console bought after someone already has one, I consider a "scalped" console. No one that wants one has one. That means a majority of ps5s in circulation were obtained through illegitimate means. I also consider a console given to an "influencer" for free to be illegitimate.
I feel like if the scalping problem really wasn't as bad as it was made out to be, Sony wouldn't still be putting out PS4 games. Gran Turismo 7 and Horizon Forbidden West, both intended PS5 exclusives, are getting PS4 versions now.
@@masterpain7742 you do realize that just because something is resold doesn’t mean it’s used correct? Edit: And culture vulture? What culture is being stolen from exactly? The one that wears shoes?

most of it's probably car companies tbh. They have way too much tech in them these days. And the government is now gonna mandate that more of them go into a car.
It’s funny seeing an add for dark colored replacement covers for the ps5 when we can’t even get them lmao. Like how much of a market is there when no one can get them
I hope everyone just doesn't care about them for a while even when they get back in stock my local store is full of the sheit xbox S version what a waste of sources
Apple does not contract arm, they license the arm architecture and design their own chips which they have TSMC produce. And the nvidia graphics cards chips are made by Samsung. There are a few other chip makers such as global foundries and Samsung. There are also other companies that only make their own chips. It are not on the cutting edge like tsmc and Samsung. Intel makes their own chips but they are going to start making chips for others and have some of their own processors made by tsmc.
@@Fr33zeBurn You clearly are the one that didn’t listen, demand being so high shows that the video game market is growing rapidly which I doubt is bad for video games. You’re wrong about the chips on two counts. Firstly there are other companies they just don’t have a substantial market share (a bit pedantic but I don’t care) and secondly the chip shortage is because the company is expanding operations (along with the demand being greater than supply).
@@higginswalsan It's because phones, games consoles & computer boards are all using the same company. That's an unsustainable supply, and none of these problems would be happening if they had a sustainable supply of chips i.e more than one company producing all of them. If there was a sustainable supply then 'everything improving' would not result in a lack of chips.
While this video focuses on gaming items, those chips are used in damn near everything. Like with many supply chains, the pandemic overtaxed either the supply or demand and it's going to take time for that to level out. It has nothing to do with the size of the gaming industry growing. Most electronic or digital items that use these chips across all sorts of industries experienced this temporary spike in growth. It's not a sign that the industry is growing, just that people were cooped up in their homes and started using more electronics because of that.
It's funny how the people who actually have one( mostly people who make a living talking about tech stuff are saying its not worth waiting in line to get a ps5 at the store)
Thats sort of subjective I guess. If you have spare time, and would like the better console, then you *could* wait in line. Alternatively you could just wait another few months or a year and likely get it online much easier.
Hey so like, apparently some cars use these chips aswell. And with people not traveling due to the pandemic other places could've decided to take the orders that cars would've normally taken and then when the cars got the orders back in there was still many for the other stuff and thus leading to a shortage. Though the difference is that cars can get rid of certain features to lower their reliance on chips. Video game consoles cannot.
I'm still confused because many console players prefer those because it's easy to play, but it's not like installing Steam/GoG/Epic/Yo'Mum was harder than a few clicks, then the process or buying downloading games is as simple as it is on consoles... and the "physical copy" thing is less relevant now, in a time where developers release day one patches as big as the game itself... It's not 1995, it's not even 2010... by todat standards, PC gaming is a broader and more flexible market, aside exclusives...
console gaming its still easier because of cost and not having to deal with driver problems. ( im a pc gamer i hate that modders have to fix every game lol)
From my experience, people that like consoles like the comfort of gaming from the sofa. And since these aren’t usually the people that build pc’s they might also get discouraged by prebuild desktops since they are usually much more expensive than a console, and not always have up to date teck.
@@frostreaper1607 yeah but more console gamer are becoming pc gamers. All my friend got into pc gaming during the pandemic. I’m poor and can’t afford a good gaming pc parts since prices of things have gone up. I’ll wait till gpu prices go down within the next year or two. Don’t wanna overpay for something.
If you think it's gonna stop at 2023 you You got something coming to you then It's going to get a lot worse.This is just the beginning ,What is to come
Imagine wanting to buy a console in the first yer it's out despite knowing the history of console launches knowing it's a terrible idea. You're literally a beta tester for people with any level of common sense.
Funnily enough I didnt even really want one, but I recieved an email from playstation saying I was chosen for an exclusive offer to purchase a PS5. So I did. Just lucky I guess lol.
suppose only half the people who use (not own, only use) a ps4 want to buy a ps5. that would be around 50 million people who want a ps5. the total number of sold PS5 units at this date would be a bit over 10 million. that would mean only 20% of people who want one could get one. It also means that if these numbers hold consistent, then it will take a couple years for Sony to build enough ps5 units to meet this speculative demand. And that is only considering half the current ps4 users want a ps5.
Companies are doing this to to kept the prestige so they can keep the prices up for longer. It a Business move because they both lost a lot of money making the consoles
"Mining hype has died down" How so? If anything it feels like it's doubling up year by year. Everyone who wanted to get into mining OR gaming should have gotten their cards by now but no, cards have been virtually impossible to get cheap for what seems like close to a decade, the PC gaming influx was only temporary but the crypto hype continuously increases at much faster rates than the supply.
I can assure you wayyyyy more than 200,000 PS5's have been scalped. It's easily in the millions, in my opinion. I'm a reseller myself and have bought and nearly a hundred of them in the past year, and I don't even use a bot. I know other resellers who bot and dedicate a lot more time and money into it that have bought and sold hundreds. I mostly sell consoles to bulk buyers who ship thousands of them a month overseas (mostly to the UAE) where they sell for even more than in the States. I've seen their stashes myself and it's insane.
Chips are in low supply because of the Lays strike.
That is the real issue that no one's talking about
Not many of us sadly...

Me who went to best buy yesterday and bought a series S in person huh, that was easy. (I live in a super small town though)
I think if we started executing scalpers things might improve lol
Waiting until 2023? That's still a long wait.
4:51 ARM is a rights holder. Nobody makes chips for ARM.
5:03 Samsung does the 3000 series.
Sometimes ARM does use TSMC to manufacture their chips, but yeah, you're right, Apple doesn't outsource their chip manufacturing to ARM Holdings

I managed to get my hands on a PS5 but my area doesn’t have much competition so I was able to get one. It took a month or so but target dropped at like 5:30am one morning when I happened to be awake and picked it up the same day.
Howd you know it dropped
@@TheDarkGreenMarine the PS5 stock alerts Twitter. Didn’t get it till early February and was trying through all January. I initially gave up around mid December because I thought the holiday season rush wouldn’t make the effort worth anything and decided to pick it back up after New Years.
POGGERS
Nice
Well that's too also mention that TSMC has had to reduce supply due to Taiwan experiencing excessive droughts and having low water reservoir levels.
They’re an island. All they have to do is desalinate the ocean water.
@@matthew8153 harder than you think
Also more expensive than you think
@@irishbattletoster9265
Not really, Taiwan doesn’t have the toxic bureaucratic process that California does.
I got a ps5 a couple months ago. Godspeed to the ones still trying to get one. It took me a month straight and buying a bundle from gamestop... but I got one for retail. I hope those of you can get one. Xbox, gpu, whatever. Keep trying don't let the scammers win
I work for a firm that make substrate etch/dep machines. We can’t make them fast enough atm.
We have a lot more machines going to Japan, they are trying to make more domestically and cash in on US/China sanctions.
We’re aiming to deliver a number of tools early next year.
But ironically, we have supply issues. Real chicken & egg shiz
You can’t get anything because you aren’t going to need anything because you won’t own anything. And you’ll like it.

This guy sounds like ALF. I love it!
as someone who live in Arizona...
that photo is just most of my life!
As someone who works at a game store in Bulgaria we actually have started to get ps5s at least once a month.
Wait until there's more new games, maybe even when there's a price drop at some point.
My dad said this is like when he bought me the gameboy color. Except.. the struggle never ended 😳
Hol up
@@arandominternetuser455 I don't quite get it.
It’s the international chip shortage, it’s difficult to get new chips manufactured
Suppliers have decreased due to being unable to complete and outsourced manufacturing of the components to TMSC, and with the pandemic there was a surge in demand for goods that require chips
Definitely not just demand of consoles, but chips generally, everyone from automative, payments, military (which likely has priority), data centres needing more load capacity (due to everyone being home), everything
It would be generous to say console demand is a major factor in itself, imo its one if the big reasons Nintendo just released the OLED model instead of doing a pro model
Depends on what you consider a "legitimate" purchase. IMO any console payed over retail, or any console bought after someone already has one, I consider a "scalped" console. No one that wants one has one. That means a majority of ps5s in circulation were obtained through illegitimate means. I also consider a console given to an "influencer" for free to be illegitimate.
I feel like if the scalping problem really wasn't as bad as it was made out to be, Sony wouldn't still be putting out PS4 games.
Gran Turismo 7 and Horizon Forbidden West, both intended PS5 exclusives, are getting PS4 versions now.
As a sneaker head, I’d like to formally welcome everyone to the realm of perpetual disappointment
Sneaker heads are culture vultures . Who the hell in their right.mins would buy used shoes lll
@@masterpain7742 you do realize that just because something is resold doesn’t mean it’s used correct?
Edit: And culture vulture? What culture is being stolen from exactly? The one that wears shoes?
The sneaker culture brought bots to mainstream use. Therefore it is the worst thing to happen to regular consumer purchase of in demand products in history. EVERYTHING is scooped up by botters now if there's a demand. It won't be long before you will need one to buy anything at all. Meanwhile the botters have more stock on hand than the manufacturers... Sad times
Imagine getting hard over shoes
@@Noah55566 everyone has their thing. Some people like concerts, others like baseball cards, video games, clothes, antique watches, exotic vacations, etc. Don’t see how liking sneakers is anymore ridiculous than liking those things, or anything really.
I’m sure you got something in your life that makes you happy. How about you focus more on that and less on what I’m interested in?
most of it's probably car companies tbh. They have way too much tech in them these days. And the government is now gonna mandate that more of them go into a car.
5:51 "Is basically cold war 2" ha! Now i wanna listen to that song of yours again lol
It’s funny seeing an add for dark colored replacement covers for the ps5 when we can’t even get them lmao. Like how much of a market is there when no one can get them
2023? The STM32s are going to be out of stock or overpriced for another two years?
Oh well, i guess i’ll play yakuza zero again
Yakuza 0 is golden. Also don't forget the yakuza collection as well it's worth it 🙃
Good
I hope everyone just doesn't care about them for a while even when they get back in stock
my local store is full of the sheit xbox S version what a waste of sources
Idk man they're gonna be in high demand for quite sometime.
Okay, whatever. My backlog is big enough to last until 2023.
I love the Super Show clips. That show is a treasure.
Apple does not contract arm, they license the arm architecture and design their own chips which they have TSMC produce. And the nvidia graphics cards chips are made by Samsung. There are a few other chip makers such as global foundries and Samsung. There are also other companies that only make their own chips. It are not on the cutting edge like tsmc and Samsung. Intel makes their own chips but they are going to start making chips for others and have some of their own processors made by tsmc.
I just know that by the time I’m able to get a PS5 Sony will have already removed the backwards compatibility for my PS4 games
Has this happened before??
@@ThePlasmicAlchemist Yes. When the first gen PS3 came out it was backwards compatible with PS2 and PS1 games, but that feature was quickly axed.
So basically everything’s low on stock because everything’s improving? Sounds pretty cool to me
Er no not at all, everything's low on stock because demand is higher than supply and only one company makes all the chips. Did you listen at all?
@@Fr33zeBurn You clearly are the one that didn’t listen, demand being so high shows that the video game market is growing rapidly which I doubt is bad for video games. You’re wrong about the chips on two counts. Firstly there are other companies they just don’t have a substantial market share (a bit pedantic but I don’t care) and secondly the chip shortage is because the company is expanding operations (along with the demand being greater than supply).
@@higginswalsan It's because phones, games consoles & computer boards are all using the same company. That's an unsustainable supply, and none of these problems would be happening if they had a sustainable supply of chips i.e more than one company producing all of them. If there was a sustainable supply then 'everything improving' would not result in a lack of chips.
While this video focuses on gaming items, those chips are used in damn near everything. Like with many supply chains, the pandemic overtaxed either the supply or demand and it's going to take time for that to level out. It has nothing to do with the size of the gaming industry growing. Most electronic or digital items that use these chips across all sorts of industries experienced this temporary spike in growth. It's not a sign that the industry is growing, just that people were cooped up in their homes and started using more electronics because of that.
No. Graphic card and pc shortages are caused by cryptocurrency and chip shortages. Demand is high!!!
One hell of a time for the Gabe Boy to hit the streets!
I wonder if all the estimates are taking into effect that these consoles are primarily now being re sold overseas?
5:06 small mistake: the RTX 3000 chips are made by 8N Samsung. The Tesla Ampere is made by 7N TSMC.
YES HE MENTIONED COLD WAR II...Great no sustain song
I've always said the entire world is held together with zip ties and duck tape. It looks like they're finally starting to break
It's funny how the people who actually have one( mostly people who make a living talking about tech stuff are saying its not worth waiting in line to get a ps5 at the store)
Thats sort of subjective I guess. If you have spare time, and would like the better console, then you *could* wait in line. Alternatively you could just wait another few months or a year and likely get it online much easier.
Hey so like, apparently some cars use these chips aswell. And with people not traveling due to the pandemic other places could've decided to take the orders that cars would've normally taken and then when the cars got the orders back in there was still many for the other stuff and thus leading to a shortage. Though the difference is that cars can get rid of certain features to lower their reliance on chips. Video game consoles cannot.
I like how Knowledge Hub went full circle and is now about knowledge again and his other content now has its own channel.
I'm more upset that the guns that I want to buy are all out of stock but the ps5 is good too
Dont worry, you couldnt find ammo even if you could find a decent rifle :^)
Manufacture semiconductors in the outback.
You can get it at Walmart for 2X the price. I would think they would be braking some law by doing this.
You should put your song's name in the description dammit. I don't even know if it's in your soundcloud yet
The number for scalpers should be atleast 10x higher than 250,000. Software sales confirm that for me
You realize that 10 times that number hasn't been sold yet.
@@leoziman8689 are you saying they haven't even sold 2.5 million consoles yet? What numbers are you citing?
@@leoziman8689 Math wasn't your strongest field of study I see.
Seems more arbitrary throttling of "supplies" to me
This guy sounds like white Bill Cosby.
I'm still confused because many console players prefer those because it's easy to play, but it's not like installing Steam/GoG/Epic/Yo'Mum was harder than a few clicks, then the process or buying downloading games is as simple as it is on consoles... and the "physical copy" thing is less relevant now, in a time where developers release day one patches as big as the game itself...
It's not 1995, it's not even 2010... by todat standards, PC gaming is a broader and more flexible market, aside exclusives...
console gaming its still easier because of cost and not having to deal with driver problems. ( im a pc gamer i hate that modders have to fix every game lol)
It's quite hard to get computer hardware too, GPUs mainly
From my experience, people that like consoles like the comfort of gaming from the sofa. And since these aren’t usually the people that build pc’s they might also get discouraged by prebuild desktops since they are usually much more expensive than a console, and not always have up to date teck.
@@frostreaper1607 yeah but more console gamer are becoming pc gamers. All my friend got into pc gaming during the pandemic. I’m poor and can’t afford a good gaming pc parts since prices of things have gone up. I’ll wait till gpu prices go down within the next year or two. Don’t wanna overpay for something.
That ending straight up made me slam the subscribe button. So damn good.
If you think it's gonna stop at 2023 you You got something coming to you then It's going to get a lot worse.This is just the beginning ,What is to come
They’re gone instantly, not in 15 minutes.
Imagine wanting to buy a console in the first yer it's out despite knowing the history of console launches knowing it's a terrible idea. You're literally a beta tester for people with any level of common sense.
Fr, the ps5 lacks basic features lol
@@pandaboogus Such as?
I'd rather wait for the slim or pro/X versions of the consoles by then.
this video makes me feel lucky for finding a msi 3070 at a Mircocenter
In Europe they call them Crisps
5:51 huh, sounds familiar, wonder where I’ve heard that before….
But Tyler why would china invade somewhere they already own, silly billy.
Was just in Wisconsin and saw 3 people walk out of Target with brand new PS5’s
This is the best of times. No time is worse, in our modern era post ww2
Funnily enough I didnt even really want one, but I recieved an email from playstation saying I was chosen for an exclusive offer to purchase a PS5. So I did. Just lucky I guess lol.
You have no idea how lucky I feel to have gotten a Series X so early.
Once it's over, scalpers will finally get a normal job or get their asses to jail I hope.
suppose only half the people who use (not own, only use) a ps4 want to buy a ps5. that would be around 50 million people who want a ps5. the total number of sold PS5 units at this date would be a bit over 10 million. that would mean only 20% of people who want one could get one.
It also means that if these numbers hold consistent, then it will take a couple years for Sony to build enough ps5 units to meet this speculative demand. And that is only considering half the current ps4 users want a ps5.
These chips are also used in vehicle manufacturing which doesnt help
Wow my boy PolarSaurusRex it’s just everywhere lol
YOU PUT MUNITION CHIPS IN TOYS!!???
It’s crazy that I never even tried to get one or even looked it up
I think Samsung makes Nvidia's 3000 GPU chips, not TSMC
I knew it was the chip shortage but I didn't really know what the chip shortage was 🤣
you sir, are a National treasure on both this channel and knowledgehub. stay safe
I'm finally getting mine this month and I couldn't be happier. I even pre bought miles morales
Companies are doing this to to kept the prestige so they can keep the prices up for longer. It a Business move because they both lost a lot of money making the consoles
"Mining hype has died down"
How so? If anything it feels like it's doubling up year by year. Everyone who wanted to get into mining OR gaming should have gotten their cards by now but no, cards have been virtually impossible to get cheap for what seems like close to a decade, the PC gaming influx was only temporary but the crypto hype continuously increases at much faster rates than the supply.
What other electronics are so hard to get right now? I'll wait....
Common Household appliances...I've been waiting for an Electric Range Stove for over a Month now. It's also tough to find Computer Monitors,
Soon we're gonna run out of the precious metals that make electronics
I can assure you wayyyyy more than 200,000 PS5's have been scalped. It's easily in the millions, in my opinion. I'm a reseller myself and have bought and nearly a hundred of them in the past year, and I don't even use a bot. I know other resellers who bot and dedicate a lot more time and money into it that have bought and sold hundreds. I mostly sell consoles to bulk buyers who ship thousands of them a month overseas (mostly to the UAE) where they sell for even more than in the States. I've seen their stashes myself and it's insane.
