“Lack of shortages”
Just say Surplus you weirdo. Who the heck wrote that headline?
It makes sense in the context of how scalpers thrive. A surplus is normal, a shortage is what they rely on and the lack of these shortages has impacted them.
It also helps SEO when people search ps5 pro shortages.
I find it pretty telling that my kid and his friend where at home playing on the almost 20 year old ps3, with the ps5 right next to it.
To be fair they do fire up the 5 for that soccer game, but I have soo many games in the cabinet for the 3 that it is a goldmine for them
PS3 is probably the last gen to support a lot of local coop games
Co-optimous has the best db of co-op features.
For couch co-op they list:
- PS1 - 85 titles
- PS2 - 212 titles
- PS3 - 500 titles
- PS4 - 1207 titles
- PS5 - 393 titles
These numbers place the PS4 couch co-op library as larger than all the preceding PS generations combined. (At the moment you could group PS5 in with them too but that won’t be true for long.)
Edit: thinking about this a bit more the interesting pattern is that each of PS2, PS3, and PS4 more than doubled their preceding generation’s figure. We don’t know how long the PS5 generation will stick around but we are probably half way though and its unlikely it reaches 2400 co-op titles.

A lack of shortages?
It’s too complicated to say “a surplus”.
It makes sense given the context. The article is trying to distinguish between a surplus and a lack of shortage for 2 reasons.
-
There were shortages worldwide for the ps5, and much of the issue was attributed to scalpers. So it is significant that there are no shortsges this time.
-
Saying a surplus of ps5 pros means everyone can buy one, isn’t really news without there being a reason that might not have been the case.
The word Surplus already denotes a lack of shortage.
Tell me you missed the point of my comment without telling me you missed the point of my comment.
Surplus just means more than is needed. Lack of shortage does not mean more than is needed. It can mean a number of things, and in this case, it means that scalpers didn’t manufacture a shortage, which is news because last time they did.
But to me it implies they are making consoles that would never be sold.

Sounds like a clever way to avoid saying they’re underselling.
Good, fuck scalpers with fire.
Fuck them gently with a chainsaw.
Suck it “risk takers”!
It’s almost as if less people are going to buy it because this lineup as it is has been a sham without the 200$ increase
It’s too damn expensive.
I fully support scalpers getting fucked.
Wonderful news
