Yeah, so Valve had 3 years to prepare while Sony basically launched at the same time as the shortage began. I'm not sure what the point is supposed to be; I think even the harshest Sony critics agree that there's not a whole lot Sony could've done differently given the circumstances. I mean, what do you think Sony could've done differently?
Waiting list system the same Valve did? Registrations with 1 unit per person? Idk literally anything other than ignoring the problem?
Sony literally did those things. I can't believe you're making me stick up for Sony of all people lmao

Hmm yes that sounds like a flawless system that is totally fair and equal to what Valve did...
Sony offloaded the job to a 3rd party and that was that, didn't care about it after that
What third party are you talking about? OP in that thread is describing buying directly from Sony.
