I no longer present to you our very dear COVID-19 or the impact it may have had on the industry and more specifically on the production of semiconductors used in consoles and graphics cards. THE PS5 and so Sony were among the great victims of this shortage, but for all that, the top 1 in suffering remains the players.
Getting your PS5 has been the equivalent of a crusade for a lot of gamers wanting to get their hands on the latest console and scalpers are there for manyalthough it may well be that these scalps are starting to cost them dearly, in the truest sense of the word.
Scalpers who are starting to regret their PS5s very much
Les scalpers really enjoyed themselves on the PS5buy a large part of the stocks before reselling them to a much higher price, leaving the most desperate players to get their hands on the wallet for a bill much saltier than expected.
The history of gaming may remember those years when getting a PS5 was a hassle, but perhaps also the very violent backlash for scalpers still on the market when the situation began to calm down.
Indeed, from the start of 2023 getting a ps5 has become relatively simpler and even quite simple to UNITED STATES since many stores have enough stock to meet demand.
What does this have to do with scalpers? Very simple : no one wants to buy a console almost twice its price anymore.
Reddit quickly picked up the slack with more and more testimonials, a big cheh for scalpers.
Sales at a loss for scalpers
Some scalpers therefore now find themselves with more PS5s than customers and a lower price than the one at which they bought them themselves.
As you can see from this post, a scalper even tries to pass as the good guy, which seems to have pissed off a lot of players.
Some even add that even if the scalpers end up selling their consoles 200€ to empty stocks and limit losses, it would be better to avoid taking them to strengthen their deficit and avoid the spread of scalping.
