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?

Its the scalpers who cleaned out the shops with the botting systems on pre-orders. The stores have already made their sales to these scalpers, which isn't to actual customers so their is a fair amount of systems sitting in peoples basements waiting on those unlucky buyers. If you feel the need to praise, than go for it, as for me, i am far from gullible to celebrate something i see as a major issue in. Again its quite odd that both the PS5 and XSX sold out super fast as well as those $1000 GPUs from Nvidia.. all in the same year. Again don't hate the messenger, no one wanted to bring it up in here so i through i will. People celebrate figures that aren't exactly morally true while the world burns behind them. So be it. Ill prefer to look into why all these high tech entertainment is selling out super faster than actual human reactions can order in on.

The same concept applies for Xbox as well. I haven't praised Xbox for their launch either. Id expect the next Nintendo system to also sell out super fast as these bots will try to clean out pre-order stock just like they did with the PS5 and XSX.

Yes be stubborn and don't reply to the question, if people weren't looking to buy PS5s to the point of sold out why would they pay 3x the price from scalpers?

Do you know that in Japan they have something much more robust against scalpers that is a lottery system and there were cases of people getting 50 tickets and not being granted none? Sure there is scalpers over there as well when you look their ebay. But to pretend a System that in 2013 sold out as well in launch (for 4 to 5 months it was sold out, do you think scalpers had been stockpilling for that time?), was doing over 10M per year, sold over 1M in BF in USA alone (was that scalpers years after the launch?) wouldn't be able to sell 2.5M on launch of successor? Is that really what you think?

Ok you weren't praising Xbox, but have you gone to the thread "to not be that man"?
