На рынке удивительная ситуация с этим кризисом чипов: у людей есть деньги и желание купить товар, а у компаний есть производство и желание продать. Но товар не могут сделать и поставить. Кстати, что странно, компании даже в условиях дефицита не повышают официальную цену, хотя именно так капитализм должен был бы в норме решать эту проблему. В итоге, мы получаем паразитическую сторону капитализма — появляются перекупщики, которые делают наценку 50-100% и даже более.
С автомобилями (да, новые автомобили тоже внезапно в кризисе) такая перепродажа, вероятно, не очень прокатывает. Но приставки и видеокарты попали под ситуацию очень заметно. В идеале и производителям и легальным магазинам нужно продать товар по возможности сразу целевому пользователю. Как это сделать? Магазины в России в конце прошлого года попробовали анализировать аккаунты покупателей и вручную звонить людям, попавшим под некий профиль (например, если человек купил много геймерских товаров), предлагая им PlayStation 5. Кажется, сработало это не очень хорошо. Во-первых, многие, кто очень хочет, так и остались без приставки. Люди буквально днями и неделями мониторят все возможные сайты в надежде поймать заветную «плойку». Иногда удается, но чаще нет. Во-вторых, магазины всё равно попадают на тех, кто в итоге продаст товар с наценкой. Например, два разных магазина могут продать одному и тому же человеку. Или — так было в моём случае — магазин предложил мне только дисковую версию, я её купил и продал ровно так, чтобы компенсировать наценку на бездисковую, которую на самом деле хотел. Впрочем, я купил бездисковую не у таких потерявших берега перекупщиков, какие обитают в России, а за границей, и наценка была небольшая относительно состояния рынка.
И вот здесь привязка устройств к человеку по каким-нибудь идентификационным данным на самом деле могла бы сыграть в плюс. В магазине, кстати, приставку продали только при личной явке и только при предъявлении паспорта, и это после их же звонка с предложением. Но можно пойти дальше: прямо при покупке привязывать аккаунт к конкретной персоне, и так, чтобы его нельзя было отвязать, например, в течение года. Это конечно упрощённая и идеализированная модель, но суть ясна: сделать скорую перепродажу невыгодной или даже невозможной.
Год назад казалось, что через год то уж точно приставки для всех будут. Я поэтому тогда и не купил. А в действительности через год стало только сложнее достать. Посмотрим, что будет ещё через год.
