What is surprising, however, is the impact that Rockstar Games' highly anticipated new game has had on hardware sales months before its release. After the release of an extensive GTA 6 trailer, gamers started buying in large quantities. PS5 Pro and most powerful Sony console has practically disappeared from American stores in a matter of days.

For me, I would definitely avoid buying at wholesale prices. There are still more than two months until GTA 6 is released and Sony has plenty of time to replenish its stock.
