I guess that's fair. It has no appeal to me but it's clearly a real PS5 title and while not a AAA game (which is in my view not a bad thing) it's clearly an important one.
... So depending on your views about Miles Morales being an expansion pack for Spider Man or a legitimate sequel, that's two.

As for diligence, the window of availability might be a handful of hours over the next few months. Hitting those windows requires either extraordinary diligence or blind luck.

As to the first, fair enough, I was just pointing out that if you really want one, and are willing to pay a bit more than the retail price - and it is a bit, it's not like you're trying to buy a graphics card here - you can have one within the hour. There's an option.
As to the second, I think you're exaggerating. There have been a bunch of twitter accounts and websites that if you just subscribe to you'll get an alert and you click "buy" and you're good. Granted, you might not notice that e-mail and have to wait for the next one. But we've had probably a dozen people post here about wanting to get one, get pointed to those services that track in-stock status, and end up with a unit from a retailer shortly afterwards. I haven't pursued it because as noted above there are no games for it that I really want to play, but I have never gotten the impression that it would be
that difficult to obtain one if I decided it was something I wanted to get.
