But, like many semiconductor companies (Intel, Nvidia, Qualcomm being some others), AMD only designs the chips-it doesn’t actually make them. The PS5 and the new Xbox both run on chips from Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), an American semiconductor company. Sony and Microsoft can’t make more consoles available to consumers because crucial components are in short supply: chips. But the biggest culprit of all is the state of the global semiconductor industry. The reasons for this are many, and they cover everything from the Covid-19 pandemic to the shipping industry to Donald Trump. It’s impossible to do so for more casual consumers. Even using all of these techniques, it’s extremely hard to purchase a PS5. Some Twitter accounts have popped up that are devoted entirely to notifying followers when consoles are in stock somewhere on the internet.
There is scant evidence that tricks spread online could increase your odds of securing a console: opening sites in multiple browsers on different devices, having all of your shipping information saved, refreshing constantly, having lightning-fast fingers.
Sony’s website, in the rare instances it has PS5s to sell, uses a virtual queue system that’s become infamous for putting consumers in hourlong virtual lines only for them to be told, sorry, the consoles sold out long ago.
