The PS5 and Xbox Series X are still impossible to obtain and of course we have many scalpers to thank for making an already difficult task even harder. However, one group of scalpers has taken offense to the idea that some people wouldn’t be happy with their bots, practices, and general ideology.

CrepChiefNotify notably has bought upwards to 3,500 PS5’s and roughly a 1000 Xbox Series X consoles according to their own admission. Online retailers just simply are not prepared to deal with scalpers in their online marketplaces and there is little if anything Sony or Microsoft can do about it after the fact.

However, there is hope on the horizon as both Xbox boss Phil Spencer and PlayStation Chief Jim Ryan have both taken note of the large number of unhappy potential customers and fans. Will that be enough to initiate company wide policies to stop bots and scalpers? And what about the retailers? We’re giving them all the stink eye on today’s edition of Inside Gaming Daily!
