In the wake of PlayStation 5?s preorder fiasco, a number of analysts in the industry reported on the curious case of the cheaper PS5 Digital Edition, which seems to be in severe shortage worldwide from the get-go. Sites like Video Games Chronicle and Ars Technica heard from retail sources in Europe and North America, respectively, who informed the publications that stock allocation for the Digital Edition was significantly lower than the Standard Edition?s.
Ars Technica further reported that Best Buy?s Canadian website showed an allocation of 19,000 Standard Edition preorders and just 3,000 Digital Edition preorders on Wednesday. The publication separately confirmed preorder allocations at nine GameStop stores in different locations, and found that this seemed to be a trend.
