Sony has sold more than 10 million PS5 consoles as of today, according to the latest official sales figures announced this week. But this news doesn’t tell the whole story. If you’re having trouble finding PS5 in stock, we have our 24/7 PS5 restock tracker Matt Swider, who will send you an alert – if you follow his Twitter account and turn on notifications. But we also have advice on what’s been preventing many of the followers from getting the console in the first place. Here are ways to overcome the « shortage » of PS5 consoles – even though Sony has called this the fastest-selling console to date. You’ll still need expert advice, and we have that, along with expanded details below. Matt sends out these console restock alerts every time the PS5 is in stock in the US. His exclusive reporting on the GameStop PS5 restock led to around 800 people finally getting the Sony console through his alerts.
