PS5 is sold out all over the world, and among the issues related to retailer demand, Tweet also explains that demand is unprecedented. “We wanted to make sure that more PS5 inventories would reach retailers by the end of the year,” the message ended.

It’s not clear if Sony means more inventory than the additional Black Friday units already confirmed by some retailers.

In terms of pure success, it was an impressive launch for Sony, especially considering that the unit could not be sold in stores, especially due to the COVID-19 production suspension. This means that Sony can expect the PS5 to outperform the PS4 in the first year. This is a goal of over 7 million units.
