The new PlayStation 5 is so big it won't fit in the picture, but in your TV cabinet it will be fine -
Sony
Hard blow for the players before Christmas.
Released on November 19, the Playstation 5 is already out of stock worldwide.
Confirmation came from Jim Ryan, CEO of Sony Interactive Entertainment in an interview with media
Tass
.
“Everything is sold.
Absolutely everything is sold ”, explained the leader to the Russian press agency, relays
Presse-Citron
.
Sony may have underestimated the demand for its console.
“I've spent much of the past year making sure we can generate enough demand for the product.
And now I'm spending a lot more time trying to increase supply to meet that demand, ”said Jim Ryan.
An "inevitable" shortage
The company manager added that he was currently looking for a way to manufacture more consoles in production plants "without doing so at the expense of assembly quality."
He also confided that “launching such a console in this very particular period is difficult and I do not wish it on anyone”.
However, the causes of this shortage are not to be found solely in the health crisis.
Because for Jim Ryan, "even without the crisis, this shortage of consoles would have been inevitable", notes

New consoles on sale
This situation benefits the opportunists.
A group specializing in the purchase and resale of products would have acquired 3,500 consoles by setting up bots according to a Business Insider survey relayed by
Presse-Citron
.
Others have also taken the lead in reselling Playstation 5s at exorbitant prices on the various second-hand sales platforms.
New consoles are expected to arrive at resellers on the Internet or in stores.
Customers "can be assured that we are working very hard to bring significant quantities to the market before and after Christmas" stressed the CEO.
