So, the higher demands always push the prices up. Yes, that's the nature of supply and demand. When the demand is high, we already know it will affect the price, it is same thing going on with PS5, which has resulted in it's scarcity.

I saved up to buy this console only to be told that it is not available at the stores. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am assuming that, for instance, if the Ps5 is easily available in the market, the price won't have skyrocketed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether it is mad made or not, it has lingered for a number of months that Sony should find a solution to the situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Head_Hunter Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 I don't think their is any available PS5 at the moment, unless the user wants to pre-order and wait for it's later availability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

egghead Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 Generally speaking, the games have more or less the same price for all platforms, however, you might find for cheaper than the list price during the promotional offer, Black Friday deals or other discounts.

It's actually not a big deal to switch from one playing platform to another as long as you have the money to get the new console. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The stress I go through trying to get games during promotional offers like Black Friday is something I wouldn't put myself through again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
egghead Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 If you rush to buy the game as soon as it is launched, you might have to pay a hefty price, but if you can wait, the same game will be available for reduced price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
