Is it true that the PS5 and the RTX 3080 are hardly available because of a material?

I thought it was the scalpers

However, I recently found that.

Will probably also play a role.

Hi

Yes?

Haha. Because of the scalp, there are no fewer PS5s. They are just resold more expensive on eBay.

it's rather the opposite. Because there are so few consoles, there are scalpers.
Let's say there are more consoles. So that anyone who wants to can easily buy one.
What is it then worth scalping? Nothing. Because everyone can buy it anyway.
But now there's little supply, which means that not everyone can buy one.
Scalpers notice this and want to make a profit from it. That's why they buy as much as possible. And then sell it more expensive (because you can't get the consoles anywhere else)

That it is due to the materials is true.
The PS5, as well as GPU manufacturers AMD and Nvidia currently have severe production problems. But this is not just due to the insulating material.
Among other things, there are many additional factors: COVID 19 and few semiconductors available.
