On contrary, it is the fifth restock of PlayStation 5 Digital Edition. You can buy the PlayStation 5 from Amazon, Croma, Flipkart, Game Loot, Games The Shop, Prepaid Gamer Card, Reliance Digital, Sony Center, and Vijay Sales. Since the first pre-order earlier this year, there have been many issues with PlayStation 5 restocks in India and the same is likely to happen this time as well.
There have been instances wherein retailers including Amazon and Flipkart were not been able to handle the massive demand and that led to the cancellation of several orders. Considering the demand for PS5 has always been high, past instances can repeat during today’s restock as well.
The Sony Center website, however, states that the gaming console will be delivered on October 12. Other retailers have not revealed shipping details yet. Sony launched the PlayStation 5 Standard and Digital Edition globally in November last year. These gaming consoles were released in India in February earlier this year.
In its latest earnings report, the company revealed that PlayStation Plus has 47.7 million subscribers globally, a 14.7 per cent increase (year on year). Sony has registered $3.14 billion in operating profit for its 2020 financial year. PlayStation 5 is the fastest selling console in the US history in both unit and dollar sales (lifetime sales with five months on the market), according to market research firm NPD.
According to multiple media reports, the stock of Sony PlayStation 5 will continue to be very limited until the second half of 2021 due to chip shortage. Sony has been struggling to maintain the supply of the PS5 consoles.
