The Devil's Advocate
Call me Dad
I would agree but they clearly bullshytted on this release. Sony PRETENDED TO CARE by doing online only.That ain't it breh
Earlier this year it was reported Sony was expecting to ship more consoles than ever before in their history
The hype for the ps5 is unprecedented not artificial
COVID along w/ that hype makes the ps5 hard to find/get
If Sony shipped anywhere from 10-20 mil PS5s this year, I believe they would sell every unit in record time
I preordered for this reason because I wasn't trying to scramble for tweets and notifications trying to get a ps5 for who knows how long
this will probably extend into 2021
Why do I say pretend? Because the very next day, the very next black friday, and all throughout the rest of the sales, they suddenly stopped caring about COVID? They suddenly stop caring where it's sold.. They didn't slow or halt or control a single other Sony product in the history of Sony products, until now........ In fact, no company ever did this and we've had a pandemic since January.. Cause what? Maybe 50 people would stand in a line outside a store? Couldn't they stand 6 feet apart in line? Couldn't they limit the line to the first 30 people?
But ok lets just believe that.. They really did online only because it would save lives. Why didn't they mandate or create any sort of system to avoid bots and resellers?? If we, the common man, all knew what was going to happen, then I'm sure they did too. Not a single catchpa requirement? Not a one per household requirement? Not a number system just like in a line, where you get a number to an assured system? Call a number and get a confirmation number.. IP lock... NOTHING
They didn't care. Maybe they didn't sit down and plan this for years.. But once it was apparent this virus was going down, they surely said to themselves, lets take advantage. When has a product manufacturer ever demanded that ALL people selling their product, not be allowed to be sold in a store. Nike don't even do that with Jordans and actual murders happen.
This PS5 launch trended everywhere for 24 straight, mainly because people were crying about not getting them in the ways they were told... Which miraculously, happened to be planned times from 12am to 12am the next day.. They got what they wanted
