The chaos surrounding the pre-orders of the PlayStation 5 caused a lot of commotion. Now Sony is responding and promises soon to have more stock for the PS5.
This is what happened: On September 16, it was quite surprising that the first PS5 consoles could be pre-ordered. Within hours, the coveted units were sold out. Especially frustrating: Sony promised in a tweet that the pre-orders should start a day later. Users who trusted this were left empty-handed.
Now, 3 days later, Sony is finally addressing this disaster. They apologize for the process and promise that new consoles will soon arrive at retailers.

Sony promises more stock – fans want notifications
This is the tweet: Via Twitter, Sony apologizes. They say: “Let’s be honest: PS5 pre-orders could have gone a lot better. We really apologize for that.”
After that, they state that in the coming days, some retailers would be releasing consoles for pre-order again and that the retailers would share details about that.
What do fans say about this? There are mixed reactions. Some fans are taking it easy and say that everything will eventually work out. Others, however, demand that it should not be the retailers informing users, but rather Sony itself.
After all, the retailers did not inform in advance during the first pre-orders but simply published them.
The mood is still tense between Sony and potential buyers of the PS5. It remains to be seen how many PS5 will come to retailers and whether this drop will also be properly announced in advance.
When could the new PS5 come? This is still unclear at the moment. Amazon states in an email that customers should keep checking the website. Amazon might “possibly release additional stock.”
Other providers are saying similar things. Websites like MediaMarkt and Saturn have had the PS5 available for pre-order every now and then. But as quickly as they appeared, they were also gone.
If you haven’t been able to pre-order a PS5 yet, you should regularly check the websites to see if the coveted console is available again. We at MeinMMO will, of course, inform you when the PS5 is available for pre-order again.
If you have already pre-ordered a console from Amazon, you should check your emails. At least in the USA, there are warnings for pre-orderers.
