The momentum will halt... the scalpers caused a bottleneck. It won't outsell the ps4.
No. The bottleneck was the chip shortage. PS5s were scalped for so long because Sony couldn't make enough consoles because of it.

I live in the UK and it took me 18mths to get one. It's only now after two years and 3 revisions later can you buy one at retail price.
(Which will being going up in price, coincidentally)

If people weren't scalping there would surely be enough to purchase you remove scalpers from the equation and every one who wants one gets one hence no bottleneck.

My PS4 pro was having issues, so got rid of it, so needed a playstation console. I do agree the first 2 years of this gen has been meh. However, I do like playing these games with better performance
