oh yeah that’s a long time too! how is Sony production of PS5 so low? 150 units 3 months, each month manufacture 50 units only?
You try buying in Indonesia then you know what's called tough.

Ballot 10k ppl for less than 100 sets.

One month one batch. Until now probably less than 800 units so far, only 8 batches.

Sony said last week that it's sold 10 million PS5s since the console's launch nine months ago.

Sony was only able to make 10 million PS5s globally in the past 9 months due to shortages, in comparison PS4 has sold 115.2 million units.

Well they need to make x10 to satisfy the global demand.

If Sony allocated half of those unit sold to SG, we will all be happily with a PS5 😄

PS5 sold more than PS4 within the 1st year.

So the production is "ok", nobody knew the demand would shoot up so much, production cannot just up last minute.

USA market bigger, they definitely get a bigger share, because their buying power also higher, more games purchases compared to other region.

Haha received a call from a gameshop asking whether i pre-ordered sometime back and asked whether i am interested in collecting one expected to arrive tomorrow.

Of course i said yes. Then i flipped it on Carousell for more than 50% profit of the PS5 disc editon cost price. Damn good to earn siol.
