Anyone who is disappointed by not finding a PlayStation 5 under the Christmas tree can find comfort in knowing that many people in the US find themselves in the same circumstances.
Since its release in November, the next-generation Sony console has proven to be a huge success, and its popularity has led retailers to scramble to load shelves to meet demand. Despite the best efforts of retailers, however, a large number of gamers have been left empty-handed with the regular PS5, which costs $ 499, and the PS5 Digital Edition, which costs $ 399, which sells quickly.
The nature of the console release has made life harder for those hoping to get their hands on the PS5, as bots and scalpers tried to buy the consoles online before selling them at bargain prices on third-party websites has.
The good news is that Sony has confirmed that more stocks are trading down retailers and has encouraged customers to keep an eye out for the latest stock decline.
“Demand for PS5 is unprecedented, so we wanted to confirm that more PS5 stock will reach retailers before the end of the year. Please keep in touch with your local retailers,” the technology giant said in a statement last week.
Here’s an overview of the latest PS5 information on reloading Target, Best Buy, Walmart, Newegg, PopFindr, BrickSeek and more.
