In the past one-and-a-half years, mainly during the covid lockdowns, the online gaming and entertainment sector has seen strong growth. However, due to the supply constraints, vendors were unable to meet all the demands. But at this time of the year, the availability of these items at a much lower price makes them an attractive deal. Although the members can avail the items early, there is no guarantee that all of them will be able to buy the consoles.

The Walmart Inc. (NYSE:WMT) stock traded at US$142.11, down 0.20% at 09:31 am ET.

There has been a rising demand for gaming devices during the last one-and-a-half years, but console manufacturers faced issues in the supply chain. As a result, the ensuing shortage of gaming items had dampened the spirits in the market.
