I'm wondering how bad Covid is gonna f*** everything up for the PS5 numbers going forward, and to a lesser extent, the XBSX.

I just saw this on N4G:

There's a youtube video in the link. It's funny, as soon as it started playing, I recognized the anchorwoman, and Channel 9 News logo from the video my hero Jim Sterling made eviscerating them titled "Grand Theft Adelaide". Thought I would post it in spite of that. The demand for the system is clear. The amount of news coverage on customer interest, and it's scarcity, that I've happened upon by accident is on a level I haven't seen in a while. Hell, even pop-culturally. Real Time With Bill Maher, Tosh.0, and Last Week Tonight all name dropped the PS5 in jokes since it launched. Even anecdotally, the 3 times I was at EB games saw multiple enquires on availability on each visit. I'm posting this, I guess, because, although sarcastically, the scalping thing came up again.
