There was a replenishment of the major consoles, and Bro just released it like it was nothing."

A rise in demand caused by the pandemic and worldwide supply chain challenges made it tough for players to get their hands on the PS5, which was released last November by Sony. There have been rumors that Walmart hasn't had any gaming consoles in store since early October, so this claim of an entire warehouse full of them would be shocking to some.

Although PS5s continue to be scarce, many of the commenters hypothesize as to why Walmart may have a surplus of them.

@nvarubic speculates that they're preparing to buy in bulk in order to put a stop to online scalping.
