PS5 Sold Out

Sony has just released its next-gen console PS5. The demand for this console is so high that the pre-orders got sold instantly. The demand didn’t die down here though. Retailers have observed such high demands for the console that they had to start a lottery system to sell out their stock. Reports suggest that the demand for the PS5 skyrocketed amidst the ongoing pandemic. There is also news that the next-gen console worth $500 has been sold upwards of $900 in the Japan Flea Market.

When Will PS5 Restock

No official news has been given by Sony about when will PS5 restock. Sony has gone for the release date of 12th November for select areas and 19th November for the worldwide release. It is assumed that the PS5 consoles will be restocked in time for the PS5 worldwide release.

PS5 pre-order issue

Sony has released the pricing for the PS5 but doesn’t have the PS5 release date yet. However, some Indian retailers are asking customers to pre-order the PS5 through them unofficially and Sony has been made aware of the situation. Retail stores have been accepting PS5 pre-order payments from customers and promising them the console on launch day. Sony has asked these retailers to issue a complete refund for the PS5 pre-order payments. Sony has also asked retailers to refrain from giving any PS5 pre-order information or PS5 release date details to the customers too.

As of now, there is no official PS5 release date for India. But they have provided a PS5 price in India. The PS5 with the optical drive will cost INR 50,000 and the PS5 digital edition has been priced at INR 40,000.

Sony PS5 intended to be bigger 

The PS5 right now is foot tall and weighs almost 15 lbs make this the biggest console to date. Sony Senior Art Director, Yujin Morisawa intended the console to be bigger than it is right now. When Yujin first drew the concept for the console, he was told by the engineers to shrink it down as it was too big a size for a console. The PS5 is sleek and thin but really tall when put upright.

It captures the attention of any person entering the room almost instantly. As the size is massive, Sony is shipping the PS5 with a stand so that it can sit comfortably and the risk of the console falling is decreased too. The stand is also helpful to sit the PS5 on its side because due to its design it would be wobbling all the time without a stand.
