It’s too complicated to say “a surplus”.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago

It makes sense given the context. The article is trying to distinguish between a surplus and a lack of shortage for 2 reasons.

  1. 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.

  2. 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.
