Since its launch in November 2020, it has been almost impossible to get your hands on the PlayStation 5. It has to be said that the lack of electronic components caused by the health crisis did not help Sony get out of the water. Conversely, almost 10 months after the PS5 was introduced, stocks are still very low, and we do not see shelves full on this next gen console.
In an effort to meet this long wait, the Japanese company organized yesterday “PS5 Live Restart”. As always, this type of event is based on a random sequential layout that allows everyone to access the cradle to start on an equal footing. However, everything did not go as planned and the event only increased the anger and impatience of the fans.
A relentless wait
Usually these events last for 20 to 30 minutes, and then unfortunately Sony says there are no more consoles. However, to everyone’s surprise, yesterday’s event lasted a long time. Many waited more than an hour, believing that Sony had released more copies this time. In fact, since the message to say no to PS5s has not been sent to everyone, something does not seem to have worked.
After waiting for more than an hour, the emotional elevator was violent for some. Anyway, it was felt on Twitter where hundreds of users expressed their dissatisfaction. As disappointing as it may be, it is impossible to know when Sony will host a new event. It takes a lot of patience to manage a day to get the PlayStation 5.
