Walmart PS5 Restock Fully Recovered? Console Spotted Selling for Just $529.40

Check out the Walmart PS5 restock.

After a long time of buyers struggling to get their hands on the PS5 console, the situation has recovered as the PS5 restock can be spotted at Walmart selling for a standard price. This comes after over a year of struggle for gamers to purchase the console.

Sony PS5 Restock Suffered During the Chip Shortage

Since the launch of the PS5, Sony has been struggling to deal with the demand for the console as buyers have been left with little to no choice but to purchase the console from resellers at a higher price. Now, the situation has recovered, and buyers can finally purchase the console close to its SRP.

One major reason Sony struggled to deal with the demand was not because of price but because of the chip shortage. The chip shortage limited the supply of semiconductors that Sony could get, which was needed in producing the PlayStation 5 console.

Resellers Were Profiting Out of the Limited PS5 Restock Supply

The supply backlog left buyers no choice but to purchase the expensive console from resellers. As reported by Video Games Chronicle, some of these resellers were even able to sell hundreds of thousands of consoles, with one reporting they sold 130,000 PS5s.

During the semiconductor shortage, reselling PS5s and Xbox Series Xs became lucrative as buyers had little to no choice but to purchase from these resellers. Luckily, the situation has eased as the PS5 can easily be spotted at Walmart with stock available.

The basic model, the PS5 Digital Edition, can be spotted at Walmart, selling for just $529.40, and instead of the "Out of stock" that buyers used to see, buyers can easily add this item to their carts. This shows that the situation for consoles has finally recovered.
