This is a leak from court documents that indicates that the PS6 will probably be released in 5 years at the soonest. So there is still a lot of time.

And I don't think the PS5 is that hard to get by now, though of course this will vary by region.

Most games are still cross-generation, but that is always the case. And they do look better on the PS5, though obviously they can't really take full advantage of the new capabilities, especially the much faster storage. But e.g. Horizon Forbidden West and God of War Ragnarok still look very, very good on the PS5 and are not available on PC, even though they are cross-gen.

I just double checked online, which is why I mentioned that, without typing in my zip code. Best Buy: sold out, Amazon: available by invitation, eBay: selling at $700 vs $500 anywhere else. So like I said, either sold out or at a markup that is not currently worth it.

I got mine over a year ago by following a bot that tweeted when it was in stock at a few large retailers. Didn't take that long, and I also didn't have to be extremely fast (e.g. using a bot that automatically buys). I assume it is better now, and from what I've heard it might be more available in retail stores and not online, where the scalpers tend to buy out the stock. Though I hope we're close to the point where it doesn't really pay off for the scalpers anymore.
It’s sold out everywhere.
