microchip shortages, right now the want for microchips vers the production is 30% higher than the output, so the shortages keep compounding. to make matters worse scalpers saw they could make a mint in this situation so the the limited stocks were more limited. I made a twitter account to follow some accounts that post all the ps5 and xbox drops, and usually that shit sold out in under 5 minutes everytime. It's going to be like this for at least a year more till the next factory is completed and opperational, the shortages are hitting anything with microchips, so car manufacturers are closing down shops due to not being able to finish any of their builds.
