In some cases, prices reach $ 1950
The next generation Sony PlayStation 5 game console should go on official sale tomorrow, but even before the release, the console is offered on pre-orders. In some cases, the price is three times the official price.
Sony PlayStation 5 sells exorbitantly
The PlayStation 5 will launch in the US, Japan, South Korea, New Zealand and Australia on November 12, while the console will launch in Russia and the European region on November 19. The release date for the PS5 in China is still being decided and will be announced at a later date, as indicated on the official PlayStation website.
This was taken advantage of by savvy entrepreneurs who began taking pre-orders for the PlayStation 5 in China. The official price of the Sony PlayStation 5 in the United States is $ 500, but in China, the console is asking for exorbitant prices, and in some cases the prices reach $ 1950.
Due to the coronavirus pandemic, there is a shortage of supplies and a shortage of necessary components in all markets. Sony also suffered from this. Piers Harding-Rolls, director of game research at Ampere Analysis, said the PlayStation 5 will be in short supply until at least the end of March 2021.
