Explained simply
PlayStation 5 is Sony's latest video games console, released in 2020 and widely used around the world. Games made for the PS5 are typically expensive, making them a significant purchase for many players.
Best Buy and Amazon are two of the largest retailers selling video games and other consumer electronics. When both retailers offer the same discounted prices at the same time, it is a notable event that attracts considerable consumer interest.
Back to School is an annual retail promotion period when retailers offer discounts on a wide range of products to attract shoppers preparing for the school year. PS5 owners value such sales because games normally cost a great deal, and these discounts are uncommon.
