    I would agree with this point, if it weren't for supply and demand issues. Trying to get a PS5 right now, or some of the newer PC components, isn't as easy as people seem to think because they were able to get their hands on some.

    Edit: Just checked 3 different sites for PS5, and BestBuy, Walmart, and EB games have none - except for a refurbished digital one at BestBuy going for almost 1100...which is 600 more than a brand new one.

    It's a gradual process. The Graphics card shortage is reportedly abating and has been documented by numerous outlets. The PS5 one will as well with time. So instead of treating this as of happening right now, treat these things as if they will take years to develop and implement. By then it is safe to assume the shortages will have also abated. Barring more global disruptions.
