Sony Japan tries an anti-scalper lottery system for PS5 Pro orders, locks systems behind a 60-hour playtime requirement

Sony Japan is handling PS5 Pro orders through a lottery rather than open pre-orders, requiring buyers to hold a domestic Japanese account and to have logged 60 hours of playtime before they can enter. Tom's Hardware frames it as an anti-scalper and anti-tourist measure.
