HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Future Publishing / Getty It’s been roughly 5 months since the arrival of both the PS5 and Xbox Series X, and while the systems are different spec-wise, they both share one similar aspect, they are hard to find. If you asked anyone what’s the most difficult thing to purchase right now, without a doubt, the PS5, Xbox Series X, and a pair of Jordans would be on everyone’s lists. Before the launch of each next-gen console, both Microsoft and Sony warned gamers that availability would be an issue due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and they were not lying on that front. What gamers didn’t account for is the bots scooping the consoles up before they can add either one of them to their carts and swiftly dropping them on the online marketplaces like eBay or StockX.
