Sony created the PS5 disc drive shortage. Now they need to solve it

 

The PS5 Pro announcement has caused quite a stir in the gaming community. On one hand, a mid-gen refresh introducing a more powerful console onto the market is nothing new as both Sony and Microsoft did it just one generation ago. The $700 price tag of the PS5 Pro is a difficult pill to swallow, but that didn’t stop pre-orders from instantly selling out and immediately being relisted on eBay for thousands of dollars. The same thing happened to the 30th anniversary edition of the console, a bundle that featured the color scheme of the original PlayStation and had an MSRP of $999.99.
