News PS5 New Year's Day over-the-counter sales in Japan

[Clout]

Yodobashi Camera launched the PlayStation 5 store on January 1st.

This over-the-counter sale was a guerrilla sale completely without prior notice. For game fans who rushed to the store early in the morning aiming for lucky bags and sales, it looks like an unexpected "fortune" has arrived. The target stores are unknown, but sales have been reported at major stores such as Shinjuku West Exit Main Store, Akihabara, Chiba, and Hakata.

The number of arrivals is several hundred, and the total number of all stores is expected to reach four digits. I was suffering from a shortage of goods in 2020, but I feel that shipments are increasing little by little. I hope that PS5 will reach all game fans this year.

Hard to believe they had them to sell. Hopefully this means more worldwide stock soon.
