Fedex continue to have their deliverymen sign for it as "C-19" for health concerns but they are supposed to make sure it is received by a person and not left on a porch with no one home.
Are you new to console gaming? Can you name 5+ in the first year of any console?
Saying the system is short exclusives is fine but saying it’s selling slow or whatever is dumb. All consoles suck for exclusives the first couple years, especially the first. It’s breaking console sales records even with the shortage. If there wasn’t a shortage the sales would be even more obscene. Everyone that skipped the ps4 pro wants one, people with a pro want one, there is a massive market for the ps5.

I’m surprised they haven’t bumped it up $50-100 already. People are paying $1000+ for them from scalpers, inflation has gone nuts, everybody got Covid stimulus, etc.Sony 'Closely Monitoring' Nintendo Switch OLED as Industry May Look to Increase Prices
Costs going up
A bunch of the Playstation sites running with this story suggesting Sony could be watching how the new Switch performs as an opportunity to perhaps increase the price of the PS5.
Starting July 15 Americans with kids started getting what will be monthly child tax credits instead of a lump sum/return in April. So yeah, unexpected liquidity will continue, it seems.
My PS5 is about 90% paperweight/door stop and 10% PS4 Ultra Pro, but that's one case where I'd definitely suggest getting the PS5 version. Just not at the ridiculous $70 price point Sony charged right out the gate. Both Spider-Man+MM and Demon's Souls are on sale for $50 pretty often now, which is about what they're worth (actually that's probably stretching it for SM+MM considering how short MM is).
More people have this system now than any system in history has had at the same point. Yes there is a lack of exclusives but no it is not unique to this system. Every system’s library sucks ass for 1-2 years. At least this generation has the full deep library from the previous system to draw on. This is why every time a system releases here you see some people saying they’ll “wait until the sale” because we all know the library won’t be good until then. Usually a couple years into a system is when the first price drops happen. I doubt that price drop will be the case for this system due to the pace they’re still selling at, I bet we see an increase soon honestly.
