This generation of consoles has been, by far, one of the strangest in history. Never before have users had to face the fact of going to a store to want to get a PS5 (or an Xbox Series X) and go home empty-handed because there are no units waiting for you in the shop windows. Something that, as you well know, caused some of them to become famous. bots that many have come to call as “speculators”.
What are those bots?
Well, surely you already know this, but this lack of consoles in stores triggered, on the one hand, the waiting lists and, on the other, the price of the few units that arrived from stock in the market because, every time a small consignment arrived, it was hoarded practically in its entirety by these bots programmed to arrive before the fingers of any human. So they quickly became the bad guys in the movie.
And it is that, obviously, nobody could fight them, nor get ahead of them, because they were able to respond in real time just at the moment that he stock It was advertised on any web page. So since November 2020 they have been the protagonists in what has been for many the odyssey of obtaining a PS5 in the midst of the chaos of the machine replacement strategy devised by Sony.
As well. Finally we have good news because in recent weeks the role of these bots has decreased a lot. And it is that as those bids for which they fight to obtain something perceive that they begin to be unprofitable, those lines of code with legs they move back leaving the free space to be occupied by the users.
PS5 falls out of the top 3
A report made by the company Netacea on what is the interest that these bots is showing, as far as consumer products are concerned, that PS5 has fallen out of the top 3 for the first time in the ranking of the third quarter of the year. That, necessarily, comes to mean only one thing: the stock of Sony consoles, finally, begins to become normalized and to be available with an ever faster cadence.
If you are interested in knowing what other products have snatched that interest from bots Compared to PS5 -which is currently in fourth place-, you should know that the flip flops (or so they seem) Adidas rises with the gold medal Yeezy Slide Bone; then the Nike Dunk Low Panda shoes follow in second place; the third is for Panini Donruss Optic soccer trading cards; then PlayStation 5 would come and, finally, in fifth position, new Nike shoes, in this case the Jordan 1 Retro Low OG UNC.
In any case, it should not be trusted. That the stock of PS5 has improved it is something evident but still, to this day, getting one still requires a lot of effort on the part of the user to visit stores or have enough patience to trust someone who promises a unit soon. And that without talking about the price vs cost…
