What just happened?<\/strong> It’s amazing to think that since it launched in November 2020, getting hold of a PlayStation 5 has often required a lot of luck, money, or both, the result of a chronic global shortage of the consoles caused by demand far outweighing supply. But according to Sony, the situation has finally come to an end. <\/p>\n

Jim Ryan, President and CEO of Sony Interactive Entertainment, spoke about the PS5 shortages during the company’s CES presentation. “Everyone who wants a PS5 should have a much easier time finding one at retailers globally, starting from this point forward,” he said. Ryan went on to thank fans for their patience over the last two years.<\/p>\n

Sony also revealed the PS5’s latest sales figures. Worldwide console sales have now reached 30 million, marking an increase of around 5 million since the last time the numbers were announced in November. That places the PlayStation 5 just behind the Sega Genesis on the best-selling consoles of all time list and close to the Nintendo 64’s 32.93 million lifetime sales.<\/p>\n
