The PlayStation 5 launched two years ago and it's been in demand ever since. The extra demand is also partly due to the difficulty of acquiring a console and its perceived exclusiveness, as supplies have been greatly affected by the global semiconductor shortage. However, the much sought-after console may be in stock at your local dealer in time for Christmas.
Sony's head honcho Jim Ryan recently announced the company has finally solved its stock shortage issues. Speaking at the PlayStation Partner Awards, Ryan said Sony will be able to deliver consoles to Japan and Asia starting the holiday season. While the situation might've improved worldwide in recent months, it's still rare to see a console on display at local video game stores.
We would like to inform everyone that we have resolved the long-term supply issue of PlayStation 5 and will be able to deliver it to many customers in Japan and Asia from this year-end shopping season to 2023," Ryan announced during the event.
"We apologize for any inconvenience and greatly appreciate your understanding and cooperation. Many fascinating titles were born in Japan and Asia in 2022, and I look forward to honoring them for their outstanding achievements today," he adds.
