While the different generations of game consoles have changed over the years, how does consumer behavior and the strategies of the companies behind these machines stack up?

Is this due to a lack of interest or too high a price tag? RTL Nieuws reports that sales are disappointing due to the global shortage of computer chips since 2020 [<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rtlnieuws.nl\/tech\/artikel\/5308902\/chiptekort-chip-tekort-chips-europa\">1<\/a>]. Many releases of games have been postponed because there are still too few owners of a next-generation console.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So it is a problem to get a brand new console through regular channels and in addition there are differences between the two products. The difference is not just in the manufacturer, but the strategies and product groups that the companies employ and own.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Telegram groups and re-sellers<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The inventory issue in particular is an ongoing problem, which, by the way, is not just true for game consoles, computers and other digital products. Nowadays, it is almost impossible to imagine computer chips in consumer goods. These are found in cars and refrigerators. The enlarged digitalization and the trend of &#8220;smart&#8221; products is making computer chips much more in demand. The pandemic has led to a slowdown in production which certainly has not reduced the problem. In addition, the high innovation in the computer chip industry is creating higher pressure on supply.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As a result, an electronics store may run out of sufficient stock and have to wait for delivery from the supplier, whose timing is unclear. Often when searching online for items that do sell, you end up with lesser-known companies that offer consoles for hundreds of dollars more than the regular retailers. This group are re-sellers who buy the products in batches and then sell them on at high profit margins. This is a common situation for products that are in short supply, such as festival tickets.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another way to get the product is by joining telegram groups. Telegram is a similar chat app to Whatsapp. On Telegram, messages are posted when a retailer has a product in stock again, so eventually the product can be bought. The downside to this is that people often have to have paid within minutes to still qualify before the stock runs out [<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nu.nl\/tech\/6169552\/lifehack-zo-koop-je-de-slecht-verkrijgbare-playstation-5-of-xbox-alsnog.html\">2<\/a>].\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The producers have promised that in six months there will be light at the end of the tunnel, but unfortunately this story has been told many times.
