Personally, I’ve seen it cut both ways on The Verge. Based on other footnote templates they’ve opted to use in the past, I don’t think it’s unwarranted that they provide some sort of availability header within these product teases.

I have plenty of friends who hadn’t even made the jump to XOne / PS4 era consoles, and the Series S was a gigantic no-brainer decision for them. It’s a low-cost entry point into the new generation, and that’s all a lot of people really want in the end.

Personally, I think we constantly underestimate what the lowest common denominator of consumer will put up with in regards to electronics and new tech.

I don’t have a source on hand, but I recall reading that Sony was having yield issues with their chips based on requirements (some even finding their way into other less restrictive products). If this is true, it’s possible there’s nothing they can ‘figure out’ at the moment beyond waiting for the silicone pipeline to level out because throttling PS5s to sell more hardware is potentially much more damaging to their brand image than a constantly sold out product.

Granted, this assumes Sony isn’t suffering tremendously in a fiscal sense, but I don’t think that’s the case in this instance.

I don’t know much about the story.. but it’s entirely possible Android Central was the most obvious place to send the information. It doesn’t necessarily mean they’re connected, nor does it mean it wasn’t intentional, though.
