Instead it’s the disc drive that’s being sold at higher prices…

    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

      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.

        1. 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.

        2. 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.
