My previous thread in 2021 is here

'Widely available' definition as before: Being able to buy one from a physical or online store at essentially any time.

A long time. The chip shortages could last years longer. I've heard estimates as far as 2026. No doubt some months will be better than others and it won't stay this bad, but being able to buy one at any time? Don't hold your breath.

Hopefully 2022 supply will improve, depends on the severity of the new covid variants.
 
Not much optimism huh?

I'll give it a shot.



Demand may be weakening according to those graphs.
 
Even though I voted mid-2023, I think there's a real possibility it will never happen. In 2023, there will likely be a slim edition and the cycle repeats again. Everybody will be looking to offload the current monstrosity for a sleeker version so I suppose second hand originals will be readily available. Then in 2024/5 Pro comes out and we begin a third cycle of scarcity.
 
2024 most likely. Maybe late 2023. As long as they keep selling them online only like they are clueless or something, I'm sticking with 2024.

Probably never or at least not before we are near PS6.

In any case I believe the supply issues will not get getter in 2022.
