“A Playstation 5? It will be SEK 10,000 please.”

Playstation 5 and Xbox Series X have been in short supply ever since they were released more than a year ago, and it is impossible to get over a console without planning and hunting.
… or ..?
Not according to AMD’s CEO Lisa Su. She means consoles available to buy, but that we are not willing to pay what they cost. She pointed this out during the Credit Suisse technology conference, writes Sweclockers. Here’s what she said about the availability of PS5 and Xbox Series X:
You can find them, you’re not just willing to pay for them.

And a look at PriceSpy gives her the right: there are consoles to buy, but the price is far, far above the recommended ones. An Xbox costs at least SEK 8,200 (recommended price just under SEK 6,000), and the cheapest PS5 in stock can cost you SEK 10,000.
A lot of money. But it still sounds cheap at the price of better graphics cards today.
