Looking forward to getting a PS5, however, I will wait for its next iteration. By that time hopefully, the prices will settle down and availability will be increased.
Supply and demand channels and for the PS5 are screwed up because they can't manufacture them fast enough for people to buy it due to the shift in habits brought on by the pandemic. Consumers are slowly getting them while flower and bootlace eBay companies are scalping them.
Scalpers aren't the main problem, the main problem is the bots they use to buy up any stock way before any normal buyer has a chance to even buy one.
5 months i have searched for a disk version PS5 and 5 months i've not seen a single one in stock.
I have had multiple opportunities to get a PS5 online but I refuse to buy a cash grab bundle to get one. I just want a disc version and a controller; no other bullshit bundled with it. I will wait till they hit retail stores or by then the pro version will be announced.
Despite their sales nr's I still consider the PS5 (and the series x for that matter) a paper launch since you can't go to a store and buy one.
The closest I got to buying one was on online retailer where I am on a notify me list that sent me a message saying we got some and we give priority to people on the notify me list, but you are too far back on said list to get one this time, that was on march 03 nothing anywhere since.
From the sales nr's I could find online, it seems north America got almost double the amount of consoles compared to Europe so yeah.
there is alot paper launch cause there alot thing you cant find since launch
This is the biggest issue for me, that EU and most of the world is thrown to the toilet and only US has the best stocks and best prices.
It's like US is the only country in this world, I'm fed up with this favoritism ****.
The only reason I'm trying to buy a PS5 (instead of later, like I always do, I buy the Pro versions) it's because buying a GPU is even worse, even harder and even more expensive... so I want a PS5 now instead, but so far not happening either.

And hopefully by then it won't have RAM on the back on fire.
And meantime was sold 10x more or so gaming pcs.. unless someone will hack it to enable full blown Linux or Windows on it, its just good for children and users which like simpler user experience and yeah few hardcore games, which must play few exclusive good games.
World population = 7.8 billion PS5's Sold = 7.8 million 1 out of every 1 thousand people have one....
