      Exactly! Sony could easily make a million of these and sell them for $50-$100 above MSRP for the paint job and make a lot more money instead of just making 12,000 ish units. It doesn’t make financial sense at all to make a limited amount when hundreds of thousands if not millions of gamers want this console

    If Sony truly had our best interests in mind, they would have pulled a surprise move after the event by saying, “Just kidding! The 30th Anniversary PS5 Pro bundle won’t be limited to 12,000 units. In fact, it’s going to be a permanent addition to our lineup.” The resale market would have tanked instantly, and the scalpers would be left scrambling. A dream scenario, right? 😅

    • @griffwilson5932
      @griffwilson5932 2 місяці тому +4

      Another thing they could do is make it a ‘made to order’ item, kind of like what Limited Run Games does. That way if a person actually DOES want it, they are pretty much guaranteed to get it. Sure, they may wait like maybe a month or so for the item to actually get made, but at least they would still get it. It would likely still be scalped, but it would likely only affect people who missed any potential deadlines for the console.
      But, this is Sony we’re talking about. We all know they would never do something like that, since they’re thinking, ‘Well, we got OUR moneys worth, don’t care what happens afterwards’.
      *Edit:* But seriously, 12,300 units is like NOTHING. That’s even worse than the ‘500 million limited edition’ ps4 pro, which only had 50,000 units made.

    I was lucky enough to get the 30th anniversary controller version since I wasn't interested in paying $1000+ for a console that I already own minus the pro in the name. The wait limit was an hour for me before Playstation directed me to the site. I tried both Best Buy and Walmart before this, only to have it sold out in like seconds.

    Sony only making 12300 of these was a huge misstep on their part. 31230 or 30123 would have been a better number and they would have STILL easily sold out. If they wanted to ensure everyone who wanted one got one they could have even made 123000. Then like the first 12000 got like Gold engraving on the numbers, 12001-5000 would get Silver Engraving, and 50000-123000 would get bronze engraving.
    Oh well this was the only chance Sony had to get my money on the PS5 Pro. I'll just save up for the PS6.
