Got a heads-up from local friends about being able to get a second PS5 this week and was considering doing it to re-sell, but after the last few posts I don't know. Too much risk of it being lost in transit, or arriving and having technical issues. I'm lucky enough to have gotten one that worked right.

It is no longer possible to pre-order the PS5. It already released.

Nah, gamestop let you "preorder" it yesterday. Semantics. Was estimated to be delivered late next week.

My PS5 was supposed to be delivered today but apparently will be delayed due to "mechanical vehicle delay" - Pretty sure this is just them saying some employee stole it and we cant find it so lets make up an excuse
Oh well nothing to play on it now "for me" anyways.

Amazon records serial numbers so finding the stolen console wouldn't be hard at all once the person who ends up with it goes online. But as you said, I guess it's technically not stolen from you until it lands on your porch so it's up to Amazon to pursue it with Sony and USPS if they want to bother.
It really is. From a hardware and design perspective, the Series X is miles ahead of the PS5, which feels like it was rushed to market purely because it had to release the same week as MS' consoles. If it weren't for the disparity in exclusive games that will end up saving them no matter how badly they otherwise screw up, Sony would deserve to get beaten far worse than they did in the 360 vs. PS3 generation.

I think that’s a bit hyperbolic. Yes, they rushed to market and could have used a couple more months to harden the software side, but I don’t think there’s really any widespread hardware or design issues. The widespread issues seem software related, and performance wise the hardware is close enough that I doubt you’ll see any difference (Valhalla actually performs better on PS5 than XSeX for some reason).

Xbox Series X manufacturing started after PS5, says Phil Spencer
Microsoft held off on manufacturing while they waited for desired chip technology
Sounds like MS waited for a particular chip before they pushed units out.

I'd agree that PS5 seems to have a few software issues. It was definitely rushed out with some features missing like VRR or 8K support both of which are scheduled for later. Lots of report of issues with the USB ports, it doesn't seem to be mechanical but software issues.
Technically the Xbox Series X is a better machine that should perform better, but Digital Foundry comparison of Dirt 5, Devil May Cry and AC:Valhalla have not shown this yet with all 3 games basically flip flopping on performance...but none of these are true "next gen" games so they are probably anywhere near pushing the tech much, I expect when we start seeing true next gen games on both systems that Xbox will pull ahead a little, but it seems it won't be by much.
PS5 still dominates in exclusives which I believe in the end will allow them to dominate this generation.
I will most likely pick up an Xbox at some point, last gen was the first time I didn't have both and didn't feel like I missed anything. I'm actually not planning on replacing my gaming PC when it dies, there's nothing that I only play on PC beside MMOs and I'm not playing any at the moment, and nothing coming out that I want anyways. So and Xbox might make sense for some stuff that used to be Xbox/PC. Games available will dictate if that happens or not in the end though.
