“Lack of shortages”

Just say Surplus you weirdo. Who the heck wrote that headline?

It makes sense in the context of how scalpers thrive. A surplus is normal, a shortage is what they rely on and the lack of these shortages has impacted them.

It also helps SEO when people search ps5 pro shortages.

Sounds like a clever way to avoid saying they’re underselling.

It’s too complicated to say “a surplus”.

It makes sense given the context. The article is trying to distinguish between a surplus and a lack of shortage for 2 reasons.

  1. There were shortages worldwide for the ps5, and much of the issue was attributed to scalpers. So it is significant that there are no shortsges this time.

  2. Saying a surplus of ps5 pros means everyone can buy one, isn’t really news without there being a reason that might not have been the case.

The word Surplus already denotes a lack of shortage.
