Microsoft and Sony may have brought the next gen console well within the reach of hardcore gamers but the units play hard to get it, with high demand.
Similar is the case of the Pokemon trade card.
At such times, Max Hayden, a 16-year-old child has resulted in revenue of $ 1.7 million just by reselling items difficult to get mentioned above, the console becomes PS5 and Xbox Series X, as reported by Wall Street Journal.
According to the report, the actual advantage carried out by young people is around $ 110,000 (still a lot), with $ 1.7 million to the total sales of managed in 18 months.
Reason for profit? Hayden reportedly selling units almost double the console price, which is around $ 1,100 per game console when the price is around $ 500.
The buyer is desperate to get the next generation console.
It seems some can’t wait because it is a long-term investment.
Hayden, by the way, have sold other hard items such as type sneakers too, according to the report.
Some factors cause a shortage of game console supplies such as third-party sellers, shortages of global chips and bots that confuse online systems to make heavy purchases.
And it doesn’t look better, at least for this year.
So, if you wait for the console to come in stock, it is best you have no high hopes for them to reach the store in the near future.
Enjoy your PS4S and Xbox ONE console for now.
