According to Dave Gibson, who had been to the site, the guerrilla sales were canceled due to too many people. 'It's the first time I've seen this kind of madness in Japan,' Gibson said.

Yodobashi Akiba is one of the large consumer electronics retailers in the Tokyo metropolitan area, and it is estimated that many users and resellers were rushing in because a credit card was not required when purchasing the PS5.
In Japan, states of emergency have been issued in several prefectures, including Tokyo, and Kotaku points out that 'Tokyo is the region with the highest number of people infected with the new coronavirus in Japan.'
