And you think it wouldn't be sold out if scalpers weren't there? If you do, then you must think scalpers wouldn't be able to make a profit right?

We wont know because of this. Its very odd that the moment the Xbox, PS5 and NVIDIA 30 Series were up for Pre-order, they instantly sold out. That's because the systems didn't actually sell out, they were sold to bots which the scalpers go resell at a higher price. Sure, technically the stores have been cleared of stock which is technically selling out, but moving stock from one retailer to another retailer (Scalper) isn't exactly telling us the true story with this new gen.

The article i linked to BlaLod is just one scalper who brought over 3500 PS5s by using a bot generating system to clean out stores in the UK to just resell back to the public.

Instead of blindly praising these events, we should be questioning. These consoles aren't really sold out, you can easily find one on Ebay or Amazon for more than twice the price brand new. 

Yes we can be sure. It would have sold out anyway even with no scalpers. Again if people weren't willing to flock up to buy the console for 500 how would scalpers be able to sell them for 1000 or 1500? Please explain it.

And on your need to not invent stories but just report the news so people don't celebrate the launch (why shouldn't they?) did you do the same on the Xbox launch thread?
