Kind of disagree with the premise that Playstations are hard to get because of the supply chain. Sony has sold an enormous amount of them, more than Playstation 4 at a similar point in its lifetime. The problem in getting a Playstation 5 right now is mostly due to demand IMO. At $500 (or $400 for the all digital version) they are unbelievable value for the quality of hardware in them. To build a similar power gaming PC to play games at 4k would cost about $1500 right now, and that's building it yourself and cutting out the middlemen like Dell, Lenovo, HP, etc. Aside from that there has been enormous demand for any kind of gaming systems ever since the start of the pandemic. For at least half the pandemic it has been nearly impossible to find any of the main systems (Playstation, XBox, Nintendo Switch) in stores because of the sky high demand. Demand is so high once I got my PS5 I was able to sell my PS4 used for literally the same price I bought it brand new for back in 2016. That would be unthinkable normally.
