Welcome to the Culture Jacked Podcast.
This is Monday Madness, and lets start this week out with a BANG...
2020 Gaming hardware has the hopes fill from everyone.
However due to poor communication, ecommerce's and production only the few have been able to get ahold of Preoreders on the PlayStation 5, Xbox series x / s and the new computer GPU's based off Nvidias second generation RTX platform. Both the RTX 3080 and RTX 3090 where sold out in seconds!
Now starting with the earlier release's both the PlayStation 5 and RTX3080 came out on the same day September 17. The PS5 sold out in 20 minutes or less. Meanwhile the RTX3080 lasted some like one minute. These clearly is an issue, however retailers and manufactures soon realized that they could not handle the ecommerce volume and there was some issues. Some of the issues where BOTS that where built to automatically purchased these products which increase traffic and can be coded to block. The other which in some cases is also BOT related is the Scalpers, within minutes of all of the gaming hardware mentioned above there was crazy asking prices on Ebay.
Right or wrong understanding that 2020 has yielded the least volume in recent history should have given the hardware producers clear path to overproduce to meet current demand and maybe the the 2nd late holiday coverage. Well that wasn't the case. Listen to me get pissed about!
A couple of other topics discussed in this episode - The Joe Rogan Spotify editor war, Amazon Prime Gaming and Amazon Luna.
