It might not be the best-selling console in the US, but Sony’s PlayStation 5 is probably the most wanted. More than a year after the launch of the PS5, the console is still in short supply. You can’t just walk into your local Walmart or Best Buy hoping to see one on the shelves – consoles are only available in stores in short, often unannounced, replenishment periods.
Part of the problem, of course, was the global semiconductor shortage. But another big part of the equation is strong demand. There are many interesting and compelling titles to play on the Sony PlayStation 5, with more coming soon. And there are a number of top-selling PS4 titles now available on PS5, enhanced with improved graphics, haptic feedback, faster load times and more.
