Are there even shortages for PS5 right now? Honest question as I haven't been keeping track and when I went to Amazon US and Best Buy just now, all models of PS5 including the GOW version are in stock at normal retail price.

Demand is part of the problem too, not just supply chain shortages. PS2/PS3 did enjoy a healthier life in the asian markets, namely japanese.
 
Also call of duty is a monster.
In America, yea. They love their guns and military there. It’s very common to be sitting at a central airport gate and just see platoons of teenage boys in military kit packed and taking off a flight together to some base.

A bit sad really. I was competing in esports at their age and having fun.

😂 Don't worry, we do that as well. It's a big country, different people do different things
 
COD is a huge seller in EU as well.

Nothing sad about military service and patriotism btw. I don't thumb my nose it.
No, but it's sad to see children go into this at their age. Children should be children, not soldiers. After 19 it's entirely up to you. The smoking and alcohol requirement is 21 while army is 17.
 
Currently in brick and mortar stores in my region (and amazon.fr) Xbox Series S, X and Switch are all available while it's still impossible (or incredibly hard) to find any PS5s. Seems Sony have prioritized US and UK, again.

yup, unfortunately they know you'll wait.

This is the same all over Europe. I think PS5 will begin to be available easily next Spring. They will have shipped around 43 to 45 million PS5.

Meh. Nothing wrong with cadets. Good for discipline. Many of my friends were young cadets growing up.

Btw, kids play guns at 8 years old too. Even in France. :)

Yea, I get it. I think playing is fine. I'm not against military, I just don't like the idea that we could see kids come home in coffins. It's just one of those things that are fairly large tragedies.

Interesting, so no longer any shortage of PS5's in NA (or at least in the US) while Europe still has shortages. I wonder if Sony shipped a lot more PS5s to the US expecting there to be higher demand there since the price is still the same as launch while in EU they were expecting lower demand with the higher price?

Brick and Mortar Best Buy stores still have stock of the GOW edition here in my area (2 stores) as does their website and Amazon as well.

Will have to wait to see if they get restocked again before the end of the year to know for sure. But looking like supply and demand might be equalizing in NA either due to greater supply or reduced demand.

SB

People want PS5 here. They just send more consoles on strongest Microsoft market in US and UK. In Europe people prefer wait the stock of Ps5 to buy a console.

EDIT: In Spain, Belgium, France when you order a PS5 it arrive only in January and they continue to sold forced bundle at 700 or 800 euros and people buy them.

yea I know.. even here in the US.
Even when Xbox is significantly the cheapest way to play Call of Duty, players would rather pay more and wait longer to play it on PS5, but apparently there's nothing like this game out there and it can never be replicated or replaced.

Some people don't want a Xbox Series S. Seeing in major discord here the core gamer who play on Xbox prefer wait a stock of Xbox Series X. Now it is ok but before it was the same than PS5 gone in a few seconds. Now it is available and PS5 is only available as preorder and with fucking bundle arriving in January of February like here.


But at least stock is better because it is possible to preorder before it was out of stock all the time.
