The PlayStation 5 launched last November, but months later, especially in Japan, it’s hard to snatch. Earlier today, Yodoshi sold a huge shipment of Camera Electric Megastore, PS5, in Akibara, one of the largest in the country. All hell broke out.
People began to suffer and push, landing at the Yodobashi clerk who had a stack of tickets numbered approximately 300 to buy the PS5.
Take a look at the chaos ahead:
Police were called, and the sale was canceled.

Why did this happen Like Twitter Ajapnisdream As the show shows, the Akibara location is clearly one of only two Yodobashi cameras in the larger Tokyo-Yokohama area that doesn’t need to buy the retailer’s black credit card hardware, which, it seems, is necessary to frustrate resellers.
What’s more, like in the past, the store gave the first ticket, gave the first. In the past, even in an attempt to discourage console flipping, the retailer would offer raffle numbers for the opportunity to purchase hardware.
This created a perfect opportunity for those who wanted to get a PS5 for themselves or even to resell it.
Keep in mind that the Japanese government has recently declared a state of emergency over the novel coronavirus. Tokyo has the highest number of cases in the country.
