    You make it sound like Sony couldn’t do anything about it, that it’s just a normal thing we should expect now.

    Funny that Valve managed to release the steamdeck without this problem.

    Sony just didn’t care

      The PS5 came out at the start of a chip shortage. The Steamdeck came out as the shortage was resolving. That’s hardly an accurate comparison.

        The shortage only started to lessen in 2023, while the steamdeck released in 2022.

        Also Valve delayed the release of the steamdeck due to the shortages.

          Yeah, so Valve had 3 years to prepare while Sony basically launched at the same time as the shortage began. I’m not sure what the point is supposed to be; I think even the harshest Sony critics agree that there’s not a whole lot Sony could’ve done differently given the circumstances. I mean, what do you think Sony could’ve done differently?
