My previous thread in 2021 is here

’Widely available’ definition as before: Being able to buy one from a physical or online store at essentially any time.

 

[Cert.in.Death]

Just skip ahead to the 2023 edition. It’s going to be a rough year boys.

 

[GigaBowser]

A long time. The chip shortages could last years longer. I've heard estimates as far as 2026. No doubt some months will be better than others and it won't stay this bad, but being able to buy one at any time? Don't hold your breath.

 

[SLB1904]

Spiderman is supposed to come out next year. Probably 2024

 

[Elbereth]

 

[Rivet]

Shortages aren't going away anytime soon. It seems it could take one more year...

 

[lh032]

Hopefully 2022 supply will improve, depends on the severity of the new covid variants.

 

[skit_data]

Somewhere mid 23 unless something unexpected happens*

*happens all time nowadays

 

[PropellerEar]

Thirst for PS5...

 

[Skifi28]

See you next year for the 2023 edition.

 

[Lognor]

Not this year. The supply is fucked and will continue to be through 2022.

 

[Dr. Kitty Muffins]

Have they done anything to lessen the possibility of coil whine? I'm dying to try a third time.

 

[R6Rider]

*casually pets PS5 next to me*

 

[A.Romero]

Not much optimism huh?

 

[Kdad]

Calendar years or SONY fiscal years

 

[BaneIsPain]

Q2 or Q3 2023 if we're lucky.

 

[Starhowl]

Won’t buy any before the release of a Pro-version, anyway.

That is, not gonna buy it twice.

 

[Danjin44]

 

[existensmaximum]

No way before 2023. If then, even.

 

[tommib]

I honestly think you’ll never see them in stores until 2025.

 

[BatSu]

when the PS6 comes out. 2026 ?

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

Not much optimism huh?

I'll give it a shot.

Demand may be weakening according to those graphs.

 

[Moses85]

Soon

 

[T-Cake]

Even though I voted mid-2023, I think there’s a real possibility it will never happen. In 2023, there will likely be a slim edition and the cycle repeats again. Everybody will be looking to offload the current monstrosity for a sleeker version so I suppose second hand originals will be readily available. Then in 2024/5 Pro comes out and we begin a third cycle of scarcity.

 

[Fare thee well]

Make more chips gdammit. Stick em in a bag of durritos and lets get going.

 

[Oddvintagechap]

I think mid 2023 demand and supply will be even. but the consoles will still sell the moment they go on shelves.

 

[Physiognomonics]

I'd say not before 2024

I think mid 2023 demand and supply will be even. but the consoles will still sell the moment they go on shelves.

If there are no consoles on shelves demand is not met.

 

[FunkMiller]

Absolute best optimistic guess: Q2 2023

 

[DenchDeckard]

Jobs fucked

 

[Gameplaylover]

First half of 2023

 

[Dr.D00p]

..as soon as people stop paying scalpers.

 

[Rhazer Fusion]

2024 most likely. Maybe late 2023. As long as they keep selling them online only like they are clueless or something, I’m sticking with 2024.

 

[Flutta]

 

[Kuranghi]

We need those next generation potato foundries online asap! Need moar chips!

2023 I think actually, its just not relenting.

 

[EverydayBeast]

Distributors have to get caught up with demand.

 

[ethomaz]

Probably never or at least not before we are near PS6.

In any case I believe the supply issues will not get getter in 2022.
