Was pondering this yesterday. Evidently demand far outstripped supply - be interesting to know if that was down to
a) Sony under-projecting lockdown related demand/demand generally.
b) Sony projecting demand but not being able to produce enough stock.
I did have a giggle at people on twitter yesterday frothing at the mouth being absolutely disgusted by John Lewis not being able to provide their precious with a Playstation despite them calling up the day before. The website should be prepared to encounter any amount of traffic. They were refreshing eighteen devices and the website was still crashing.
Anecdotally, a lot of people I've seen lamenting not being able to get one, aren't people I'd have ever pegged as 'launch day' console buyers previously.
