PS5 consoles are still in high demand, but thankfully the supply of consoles on the market has increased a lot since late 2019. The shortage of key hardware components made it an issue for Sony to get PS5 consoles out the door and into gamer's homes. However, that is much less of an issue, and the prominence of scalpers driving up the price of these consoles has become much less of a concern. You will likely still need to be on the ball to get one, but it's not as much of a pipe dream for the average consumer as it once was.
