NY Post- Sony’s PlayStation 5 supply issues don’t look like they’ll be letting up anytime soon. Speaking to Russian news outlet TASS, Sony Interactive Entertainment CEO Jim Ryan said the next-generation console will continue to experience steep stock shortages for the foreseeable future.

“Everything is sold. Absolutely everything is sold,” Ryan said. “I’ve spent much of the last year trying to be sure that we can generate enough demand for the product. And now in terms of my executive bandwidth, I’m spending a lot more time on trying to increase supply to meet that demand.”

Just wanted to give a quick heads up to everyone out their trying to give their kids or themselves a very merry Christmas/Hanukkah/Kwanzaa/Festivus/etc. with a brand new PS5 to pump the brakes and manage expectations a little because there may be a glaring hole underneath their [Insert where you put your gifts during your respective holiday here] without the space station known as the PlayStation 5 taking up 1000 square feet.

Who's to blame for the shortage you ask? You guessed it, that bitch boy Covid!

Ryan added that the COVID-19 pandemic had made things “challenging from the production side,” with Sony workers not being able to get into its factories in Asia during lockdowns. “I wouldn’t plan on doing another big console launch in the midst of a global pandemic,” he said. “And I wouldn’t recommend it to anybody else.”

Because of the aforementioned bitch boy, people trying to buy a PS5 for the Manufacturers Suggested Retail Price (eat your heart out Drew Carey) will either have to deal with a billion people trying to do the same thing at certain online retailers that will sell out .0001 seconds after they are put on sale or wait in line during a pandemic for a crazy amount of time like this crazy motherfucker.

Is being able to see every bead of sweat drip down James Harden's beard in NBA2K worth waiting outside a store for 30 hours instead of just kinda being able to see the sweat in the PS4 version of the game? I personally would never wait for anything for more than 30 minutes unless it meant I could escape having to watch my kids that entire time. And that is especially the case if I am sitting on a sidewalk like a homeless person only to find out those swindling, short-changing trade-in SOBs at Gamestop reportedly stocked two PS5s so they could say they had PlaystationS in stock.

Several other hopeful buyers returned home and went back to bed after they realized many of the GameStop stores only had up to two game consoles in stock.

However, it feels like we are probably going to be in some sort lockdown for the entire winter and I know I am inevitably going to be jealous of whatever game becomes THE game every tweets about. So I guess if you want to wait in line for a day during a pandemic for even an outside shot at a PS5, go for it. And please everybody, let's think about each other during these trying times and record any fights that break out in landscape mode so it's easy to watch on the internet.

If you want to avoid being the schmuck looking at everyone have fun on their PS5s with your nose pressed against the glass window of social media, subscribe to the Podfathers Facebook page where I listed the two sites I have used to get hard to find video games and consoles in the past (both online and in brick & mortar stores).

And if you are pre-emptively waving the white flag on getting a PS5 for the next month because you would rather take a bullet between the eyes than getting bamboozled by bots and broken Add To Cart buttons, take that $400+ earmarked for gifts to the Barstool Store where pretty much everything is 20% OFF for the rest of the weekend (buy ASAP to avoid any shortages in the Barstool Store since we are still idiots at Barstool and I don't know what kind of crazy shit may pop up).
