However, Sony has done a commendable job in meeting the demand via its frequent restocks and invites. The PS 5 bags another achievement by becoming the UK’s fastest-selling console ever, as confirmed by the market research firm GfK.

This comes as no surprise since the hype and demand for the PS5 have been out of this world. It’s already close to a year since both the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S and gamers have been unable to purchase any of these consoles.
The console maker recently conducted the Sony Direct restock, which has been getting some unpleasant words from the buyers. For those who are still looking to buy the PS5, Sony has started to send out email invites for the restock on September 28 starting at 11:00 am PDT/2:00 pm EDT.
