It is a new Sony console, and honestly, Sony sucks at hardware, so many probably bought them as they needed a new system. By the time the PS4 hit, my PS3 was totaled and wouldn’t even turn on. My PS4 was absolutely disgusting by the time the PS5 came. Granted, these were family systems, but even then, my Wii and U were pretty pristine in comparison and never had the amount of faults as Sony systems.
My family owns a PS5 for this reason. The only use it gets is dad’s Rocket League sessions and the siblings playing Fortnite.
