Buying a PS5 in the US could get easier in the coming months

Sony’s PS5 hit the market two years ago, and despite all that time, it’s still hard to buy one of these consoles. without having to know when the next restocking will occur. However, according to some experts, this situation may change in the coming months.

This was announced by senior analyst at MST Financial David Gibson. In September, exports of consoles from Japan to the US increased by about 400% year on year.. This represents a greater volume of equipment available in stores and available to the public.

The numbers released by Gibson also reflect the upward trend in the number of PS5s arriving in the United States since July. The proof of this is the fact that During the first half of 2022, Sony exported an average of one to three million units per month from Japan to the US..

Starting in July, those numbers increased significantly as the company managed to break the three million console barrier, which was not the case in the first half of the year. This was reflected in the following months, when in August, shipments amounted to about five million, and in September the figure was a record – seven million consoles..

Sony isn’t the only company to see improvements in console manufacturing and exports to the United States, as other companies in the sector also posted strong growth in the second half of the year.

In this sense, Gibson pointed out that Xbox managed to grow 89% year on year in September. Another scenario occurs in the case of Nintendo, which had a 59% drop.being the only one of the three large companies that found themselves in the negative zone.

Some have speculated that in Sony’s case, the increase in PS5 availability could be due to the launch of God of War: Ragnarok., one of the most anticipated video games of the year and is expected to quickly become a bestseller. Because of this, it’s highly likely that Sony will decide to release special console models in a bundle format, which could also help boost sales.
