Sony’s PlayStation 5 released in select countries on November 12. The second phase of release is also over, but the demand has outstripped the supply in all the countries.

A fair of those who have been fortunate enough to get their hands on either a PS5 or Xbox Series X/S have had to deal with some disappointment.

Xbox users complained that the console’s disc drive wasn’t accepting a disc. Several users also complained of the console emanating a loud noise while running a game, ultimately leading to an unexpected shutdown.
