@limburger artificial scarcity is a total sham, just look at apple shifting stock away from areas with high preorders.  It’s just a marketing stunt now, unfortunately the great unwashed assume preorders are there to help plan initial demand and allocation, but it’s just to gauge how effective the hype machine has been.  Worst bit is that it’s the retailer who ends up in the cross hairs even though they are at the mercy of the supplier gw are great at stiffing small retailers with less stock than preorders they have taken mainly to drive traffic to there webstore or ensure that they have stock by reallocating stock from retail to web

Console scarcity is mainly down to piss poor systems in place being blasted with bots, got bloody lucky to get my series x on all access and that was after trying and failing to get a preorders and dealing with klarna based credit report damage arse holes!!
