A lack of shortages?
Sounds like a clever way to avoid saying they're underselling.
It’s too complicated to say “a surplus”.
It makes sense given the context. The article is trying to distinguish between a surplus and a lack of shortage for 2 reasons.
There were shortages worldwide for the ps5, and much of the issue was attributed to scalpers. So it is significant that there are no shortsges this time.
Saying a surplus of ps5 pros means everyone can buy one, isn't really news without there being a reason that might not have been the case.
They are really short on shortages this year.
An abundanceage?
