Sony announced the pre-order for the PlayStation 5 right after the announcement of the console's cost. It is believed that the Japanese company thus decided to bypass Microsoft, since pre-orders for the Xbox Series X will only start on September 22.
However, the first PlayStation 5s are distributed among different sellers according to quotas, which, moreover, are very limited. As a result, the desire to overtake Microsoft resulted in terrible excitement and multiple rises in the price of the console, IXBT reported.
If the official cost of the PlayStation 5 is $ 500, then amid the exhaustion of vendor quotas, the price soared to $ 2,000.
