1. Sony PS5 setbacks began with the pandemic
Sony didn't announce the PlayStation 5 for months during the first half of 2020 (if you recall, we first saw Xbox in December 2019), allegedly delaying the initial reveal several times due to the pandemic. Rumors of a February launch event gave way to a supposedly scheduled March unveiling, turned into a April reveal that never was.
2. PS5 is collateral damage of 'Work From Home'
This is what people aren't thinking about when they think about fun and entertaining video games consoles: changes to your work life have impacted PS5 stock.
3. Resellers are ruining things for everyone
Resellers bear the brunt of the blame for why you can't find a PS5, and although they aren't the only reason (they often get all of the blame), they're a contributing factor. People buying from eBay and StockX don't help either.
4. Scammers are making things even worse
Worse than resellers are scammers who target down-on-their-luck consumers via Twitter, Facebook Marketplace, OfferUp and completely fraudulent websites made to look real. Scammers promise to sell buyers the PS5 for around $550, a small, but believable markup (except when you think that they must have paid tax, but most people ignore this detail).
