PlayStation fans have been desperate to get their hands on a PlayStation 5 since it was first revealed in November of 2020; due to the console’s severe shortage, not everyone even still got the opportunity to play on it.

When it seemed like the situation was finally getting better with more PlayStation 5 consoles being supplied, the high cost of these consoles is currently the issue.
