Lack of PS5 Pro shortages means some scalpers are re-selling at a loss
(www.videogameschronicle.com)
Good
Deserved.
I find it pretty telling that my kid and his friend where at home playing on the almost 20 year old ps3, with the ps5 right next to it.
To be fair they do fire up the 5 for that soccer game, but I have soo many games in the cabinet for the 3 that it is a goldmine for them
Mine play the heck out of the Wii U and the DS. I still am occasionally acquiring and playing a new Vita game almost yearly.
I now play my Steam Deck most of the time and the PS5 hardly gets touched.
The Wii U is the last console i bought and i still think it's such a great concept that failed for no real reason. Playing a game on the tv and having the mini map on the controller screen for example is so cool. They could've made so many completely different and new games. But i think it's just that no one really cared
I think in that case Nintendo was more a victim of its own success and they released the console a little too early. Everyone was still playing wiis back then and there were still so many great games coming out on the Wii.
My Son likes the Wii 😂
"Lack of shortages"
Just say Surplus you weirdo. Who the heck wrote that headline?
You know who. ChatGPT.
A lack of shortages?
It’s too complicated to say “a surplus”.
It makes sense given the context. The article is trying to distinguish between a surplus and a lack of shortage for 2 reasons.
-
There were shortages worldwide for the ps5, and much of the issue was attributed to scalpers. So it is significant that there are no shortsges this time.
-
Saying a surplus of ps5 pros means everyone can buy one, isn't really news without there being a reason that might not have been the case.
The word Surplus already denotes a lack of shortage.
Tell me you missed the point of my comment without telling me you missed the point of my comment.
Surplus just means more than is needed. Lack of shortage does not mean more than is needed. It can mean a number of things, and in this case, it means that scalpers didn't manufacture a shortage, which is news because last time they did.
But to me it implies they are making consoles that would never be sold.
They are really short on shortages this year.
An abundanceage?
Sounds like a clever way to avoid saying they're underselling.
A steamdeck is a better deal!
Not always and not for everyone. If you want to output a decent quality image to a TV to play on the couch, then the Steam Deck isn't exactly a great choice because it can't really do that, it struggles to maintain playable framerates in modern games at its own native resolution, nevermind a TV's (either 1080p or increasingly often 4k). If all you play is older and/or indie games it might still work fine, but it's not a one size fits all.
Understatement of the decade, IMO!
I’ve barely touched my Steam games library as it is, have just dived headfirst into emulating my retro game collection (PS1, 2, 3 & Portable); along with SNES predominantly - because fuck Nintendo.
It's almost as if less people are going to buy it because this lineup as it is has been a sham without the 200$ increase
people are buying this shit?
It's too damn expensive.
Wonderful news
This reminds me it’s nearly time to get my next second-hand PS4 game.
