On May 12, six months after the launch of the PS5, the average price on significant auction sites was 75,000 to 80,000 yen per unit, about 50% higher than the suggested retail price of the new PS5.

The home consumption brought by the epidemic has led to strong demand for games, while the production of the PS5 has not been able to keep up with the shortage of semiconductors, resulting in a constant lack of new units. Demand for other game consoles on the used market is also vital. (Nikkei）
