Apart from that, Benji’s photo mentioned that people showed a 55% interest in the PlayStation 5, which was far better than what people did about the PS4.

Although these numbers indicate the dominance of the console, gamers all around the world still can not try their hand because of its scarcity. To this, the franchise has not put out any statement about the availability of the console, so the most we can do is to be patient.
