Scarcity is not done by Sony, but the global lack of components and the scalpers taking everything they possibly can by abusing the online stores. I don't think it's the job of any hardware manufacturer to burn extra money to establish their own supply chains to get around these asshole scalpers. Especially console companies, who start out selling these machines at a loss to begin with. Retail needs to get their shit together, that's their part of the equation. But I guess Walmart and friends don't exactly have a problem with moving shit as fast as possible, they want their cut. It's about money, as you say. Lastly, there wouldn't be a market for scalpers if all the zero patience pathetic lemmings wouldn't buy from them and pay more than is warranted. I spit on you, lemmings. |
Dante9, you can believe what they tell you, or you can look at their financial statements. They are making money, lots of money.
The moment you stop giving it to them and they don't go out of their way to please you as a customer, is the moment that they have found a different revenue stream. AMD bought a lot of allocations from TCMZ (7nm), but that doesn't mean they can't re-sell it to a higher bidder. How is this connected to Sony? Well they are not hurting financially, so I'm not so gullible as to take their excuses as fact.
I vote with my purchasing power, and I find Sony lacking. I've placed my order for a Tesla, and I know I'm in line to get it; I've paid a deposit to secure my place in line. You mean to tell me Sony can't do this?
They can do better, but choose not to because they are comfortable. They were not comfortable back in the days of the PS3.
