The fact that the PlayStation 5 is continuously sold out not only annoys gamers, but also PlayStation boss Jim Ryan.
This is about to change soon.
Getting hold of a PlayStation 5 * is not easy.
Although Sony's new console is increasingly available in online shops, it is sold out again within minutes.
Sony is of course pleased that the demand for the PS5 is so high.
However, sales are currently still being disrupted by some factors, so the console is not always available - a fact that particularly upsets the Head of PlayStation, Jim Ryan: “This is really frustrating and annoying, especially when it comes to resellers and bots manage to get hold of the stock. ”To improve the situation - also in Europe - Sony is planning some measures.
PS5: More consoles available through PlayStation Direct
Jim Ryan explains to the
Axios
portal
that the company works “incredibly hard” with its partner dealers, that the PS5 “get into the right hands”.
Officially, it is said that each customer only receives one console in sales, but in practice this does not work smoothly.
Of course, this is particularly frustrating for people who get nothing.
One solution is
PlayStation Direct
, Sony's direct sales, which started in the US a while ago.
According to Ryan
, this should also be
available
in Europe by the end of March 2022 and
offer PlayStation fans an additional way to get to the PS5.

PS5: PlayStation Direct only sells one console per customer
Orders can only be placed via PlayStation Direct if customers log in with their PSN ID.
In this way, Sony can ensure that
only one PS5 per account is
purchased.
The PSN account can be created for free.
At partner retailers such as Amazon, Saturn, Media Markt and Co., you do not need to register in order to order a console.
Although only one PS5 can be placed in the shopping cart per order, buyers can strike again at the next wave of sales.
This opens the door for resellers - especially when they work with bots, they have an advantage over “honest” buyers.
