The real question here being , how can he/she be so sure others aren't getting 200 or possibly more units ?

Just because they told you they were only getting 50 units , doesn't mean they are telling the whole story.

Perhaps their staff's entire family and friends end up reserving a few units just to turn scalpers later ?

I know for a fact that 3 big stores did the same shit , You can already register your interest with them a year ago .
Also the fact that they called me on the same day Sony made announcement , asking for extra money to " preserve " a unit .

Unsurprisingly some cheesy ass fanboi is going after my back in that same day . 

Only reason I am not as forthcoming as some is because I still want to maintain a good standing with the store since I get big discount from them .
Let's look at how many scalpers putting a new PS5 for sale on mudah , shopee and  carousell on 11.12.
I would imagine the launch day PS5 would sell even for RM4000 , you are making almost 2000 bucks more from each unit .
That is quite a temptation .

I think his assumption is wrong. Based on what we know from here

1. Harvey Norman - 50 units for ALL their chain store
2. SenHeng, Senq - most likely similar to HN situation
3. Sony Stores - I think EVERY of their authorized stores allocated between 100-200 units easily
4. Heavy-Arm, Impulse, Gamer Hideout - I won't be surprised they get more than 200 units because of their # of stores and customer base. Impulse put 25 units on Shopee, then others thru their various branch in JB, Seremban, Sunway. Heavy-Arm only put 10 units on their website (quietly at 3am) but I believe they have a lot of waiting list to fulfill
5. Smaller gameshop - I don't remember seeing any of them revealing their allocated stocks. Personal opinion is that 200 units for a gameshop in Klang Valley is not impossible

For those who want to buy PS5 dualsense wireless controller, you all can order from Qishan now, they have ready stock. Can ship immediately can reach with 4-6 days.
It is cheaper by almost RM50 compare to Malaysia SRP.

I have secured 1 too.

Of course warranty is abit hassle just in case because Singapore, but  Qishan is quite OK one.

serious? then how come people import ps5 from sg don't get stuck in customs?

Here, a video on how to apply the SIRIM.

I kena before already, thats why haha.

i also ordered from ALL IT, do you think we can get on the 11th ? haha digital mall had 10 units only

I think, the kiddo will find lawyers (asking daddy's money) to sue sony for the bla bla bla jz for the console.. that will be EPIC!!
