PS5 restocking situation hits new low as ‘not a PS5’ trends on Twitter

PlayStation fans still can’t buy a PS5 anywhere. While the console is selling at an all-time high, it hasn’t been enough to keep up with demand. Each PS5 restock sells out in less than a minute, with a few exceptions. This is not just because demand is exploding, but because supply is limited by a shortage of components. Add to that problem the scalpers, which gobble up huge amounts of replenishment with bots capable of placing dozens of orders the moment you click ‘add to cart’. Making it all the more painful, according to various industry reports and speculation, this problem will not go away anytime this year or even next year. That’s right, it might take until 2023 before it’s easy to buy a PS5.

As you might expect, the entire PS5 stock market debacle has many PlayStation fans deeply rooted in emotions ranging from depressed to frustrated to downright furious. As a result, when the person who manages the PlayStation Twitter account asks everyone, “Hey… what are you playing?” The tweet goes viral and “Not a PS5” starts trending on Twitter. .

Rather than answering the question, PlayStation fans used the tweet as an opportunity to express their frustration with the PS5’s inventory situation, which in turn made “Not a PS5” trendy. and once that happened, the internet did its job.
