It's totally fair to criticize Sony for artificially limiting production of its PlayStation 5 Pro 30th anniversary edition console to just 12,300 units, which essentially means it's a console for scalpers and not genuine fans. However, Sony Japan deserves credit for how it's handling the limited quantity of themed...
