PS5 Has Now Sold Over 20 Million Units as Sony Plans to Ramp Up Production

There's only one way for the P-People.

I waited to buy a PS4 until it had been on the market for about ten months because I had no interest in the release lineup. But when I went to buy one, I had absolutely no trouble. The shelves were full. That's obviously not the case now with the PS5. I know that more sales are a good thing for Sony, but as a long time PS gamer, its very frustrating that I'm having so much harder of a time finding one for myself due to much higher demand. Fingers crossed that they do actually increase production and most of us who want one can get it.

No excuses not to get one. They have plenty in used stores in the uk.

@Ryany That doesn't tie with ps5 selling very well brand new all the time. If there were plenty 2nd hand they too would all be bought up.

It goes without saying, but don't buy from CEX. They are selling them for £535, and that's without any games. As if going into their store, and having your nasal cavity hit buy the scene of Eu Du BO, wasn't bad enough, they try to gouge shoppers. £535 for a console, that is in a poorer condition than what CEX would accept.

@KayOL77 I'm pretty sure he's suggesting to pay scalper prices.

@IMustardMitt better than their 800 quid prices a year ago from Cex.

PS5 is a fantastic system. I just wish it was more accessible. I got lucky getting mine but have had zero luck getting my little brother one.

I’m happy to wait for a PS5 slim, which will hopefully coincide with when developers are no longer hindered by having to take the PS4 into account

@uptownsoul To be fair, Currys (still have some) and Game (sold out yesterday) quite often have stock - problem is they're often in bundles with pointless accessories or games you don't want for about the £650 to £700 mark.
Most of the ones now are the Horizon Forbidden West packs so no interest from me at the moment. A base console with an extra controller and a charging dock would be a better bet.

£450 for the console alone is just about acceptable but pushing £700 is just too much.

I got mine in the UK by following a twitter channel that sends out a post when sites get stock updates. If you don't want to pay scalpers on principle (as i did) you can get one like this, it'll just take abit of effort...but trust me, it will work.

@uptownsoul do I have a link? It's at cex where I live they had loads when I went in the other day do a stick check on the website yourself

RAMP IT UP! RAMP IT UP! SONY!!! What a shame about the chip problem I really wanted the PS5 to smash every record going. Oh well hopefully they can RAMP it up like they say

I remember going into Argos last Sept/Oct and hearing a sale person saying he’s LOADS of PS5’s in the back but can’t sell them! He said Sony say when they can sell and wasn’t sure why they were stock piling!

Having owned a PS5 from lunch, apart from Astrobot I’ve not played anything that couldn’t be done on a BASE PS4, well apart from Returnal.

Day one 🤷🏻‍♂️
Wasn’t even that hard

They need to. So many people want one that are struggling more than they should be to get one

I bet Sony are kicking themselves. They could have sold the console at £100 more and it would still be sold out everywhere. Not that I'm bothered. Still no games on it to justify buying.
