Black Friday 2021 is just around the corner.
The PS5 is still popular with PlayStation fans, but availability is very poor.
Will the console be in stores on Black Friday?
The PlayStation 5 * recently celebrated its first birthday.
But a year after its launch, Sony's latest gaming console is still not always available from retailers.
There are several reasons for this: On the one hand, there is of course a high demand, but the global semiconductor shortage * means that production and thus supply cannot keep pace.
Now this year's Black Friday and the Christmas season are approaching.
Can we expect new contingents for the PS5?
PS5: New deals on Black Friday?
Black Friday falls on
November 26th
this year
.
Dealers are already advertising with numerous offers.
Technology products - including consoles, accessories and games - are particularly popular with customers.
Gamers will therefore surely find something that suits them -
only it looks
at the PS5 rather bleak
out
.
Black Friday is all about discounts.
The PlayStation 5 is not available even at the usual retail price.
Therefore, it would be pointless to offer them cheaper on Black Friday.
Many PlayStation fans would even be willing to pay more for the console, which numerous resellers take advantage of and sometimes offer the PS5 for around 1,000 euros.

PS5 sales on Black Friday not entirely ruled out, but ...
It could of course be the case that some providers will unlock new allotments of the PS5 for orders during Black Friday.
However,
should it ever happen,
it is
unlikely
to be labeled a Black Friday offer.
In addition, new consoles available would lead to a
huge rush in online stores
.
Overloaded servers and page crashes could be the result - and retailers want to avoid that in the busiest week of the year in any case.
If you have the PS5 on your wish-list for Black Friday or for the Christmas season, you shouldn't get too high hopes.
