SaysWho? Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 PlayStation kicks off new year with increased supply of PS5 consoles, new spot BLOG.PLAYSTATION.COM “Live from PS5” celebrates extraordinary game worlds and invites more players to join the fun. tbh, it's been easier since December, but it's a good reminder if you had trouble in 2022 that it's much easier to find in 2023. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spawn_of_Apathy Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 If they want to start dropping last Gen support for new titles and expansions they should ensure people can upgrade relatively easily. Demand has stayed high as I’m sure plenty of retailers sell out of new stock within hours. And last I checked Amazon you still had to sign up to be on a waiting list essentially. Though recent comments at the time did say it only took about a week to be notified and able to buy one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commissar SFLUFAN Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 Sony must've really cut a helluva contract with TSMC to ensure a relatively healthy stream of PS5s because there's an unquestionably significant difference in the volume of PS5s being available for purchase compared to the Xbox Series X and they both use TSMC as the fabricator.

Probably a combination of that and supply catching up to demand. Microsoft also didn't sell as many boxes this past holiday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skillzdadirecta Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 What about the all digital, disc-less consoles? I wouldn't mind a second PS5 for my bedroom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought that they purchases their chips from AMD -- and AMD manufactured them thru TSMC. Was I always wrong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was I always wrong? No, you're absolutely correct, so I assume that a Sony "priority contract" (if one exists) would be with AMD, not TSMC.

TheShader Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 I don't like this, more people with PS5s mean I'm less special for having one. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
