Sony's next-generation gaming console PlayStation 5, which was revealed earlier this year in June and went on sale globally from November 12, is witnessing huge demand and it turns out the overall demand has been rather overwhelming for Sony.

It was a given that the PlayStation 5 to be available very scarcely in the first few months of its launch, but, as it turns out, the demand is extremely higher than what Sony anticipated. In an interview with TASS, a Russian news outlet, Sony CEO Jim Ryan said that the PlayStation 5 is selling exceptionally well.

Ryan said, “Everything is sold. Absolutely everything is sold". Moreover, he added, “And everything will be sold in Russia, there’s no doubt about that. I’ve spent much of the last year trying to be sure that we can generate enough demand for the product. And now in terms of my executive bandwidth, I’m spending a lot more time on trying to increase supply to meet that demand."

Further, he also pointed out that early adopters of the gaming console are likely to be PlayStation 4 owners. The rest, however, may be coming from another console or entirely from another ecosystem as well. There's, meanwhile, no official confirmation regarding PlayStation 5's availability in India.
