Great news, hopefully he's right. I have to say this is my favorite console since N64 back in the days.
ID: gyv67vdID: gyv8anoWhen I was 13 I delivered newspapers every Wednesday and Saturday to save op for the N64 and the rumble pack with Goldenye.
And man the first time I booted it up and felt the rumble. That was sick and it gave so many fun hours with friends. I have had PS1-2-3 and now 5.
Didn't have time for 4 because of kids and work. So when we got this PS5 in December and booting it up with my kids at age 10 and 11. Seeing their faces when playing astro with DualSense was something else man. Later that night when Miles Morales started up with he's first swing. Same feeling.
ID: gyv820aNo you may not young man
ID: gyws7ibMay I ask why that is?
The N64 was released before the PlayStation 5.
ID: gywaob5And n64 had the perfect number of games.

Hopefully by the time PSVR 2 is out they're plentily available
ID: gyv94epImagine if PSVR 2 has the same shortage
ID: gyv9cvtI can't deal with the stress , I would just wait it out. You would think demand wouldn't be so high with only a few million PS5 out there and people not wanting to spend another £450 so soon
ID: gyvpv8eIt might but vr is a peripheral.
Psvr 1 sold a few million units. Even if psvr2 sells double what psvr1 did it won't sell out for long.
ID: gyx0ib4I doubt it won’t. Demand will be much lower and I would guess that not many semiconductors are needed for production

What’s the current state of the chip shortage?
ID: gyv5n33Bad and getting worse
Lead times on putting in a chip order and actually getting the parts is up to 17 weeks now, and last month was the 3rd month in a row it’s increased
There’s little indication this won’t continue well into 2022, I’m actually kinda curious why Ryan feels things will get better so soon
ID: gyviiioWhere I work it's 30 weeks now (networking hardware manufacturer). I'm being told that there is a light at the end of the tunnel as some double orders begin to cancel and free up a bit of supply. But I'll believe that when I see it.
ID: gyw0jouWhat's the cause of the chip shortage? Covid related?
ID: gyv6tcyEither they have some chip orders that were put in way far in advance or they have found a way to make the PS5 less attractive to lower the demand.
ID: gyv7hhaThere’s little indication this won’t continue well into 2022, I’m actually kinda curious why Ryan feels things will get better so soon
Probably because they already fulfilled a big part of the demand.
ID: gyy5dflI'm also curious why Ryan thinks things will get better by the end of the year. Sony even said, roughly two days before the article that OP posted, that we should expect the PS5 stock shortages to continue into 2022.
Maybe things are going to get better, but at the moment, it seems like Ryan is just trying to give some reassurance to people who are trying to get their hands on a PS5. Lord knows if I was still looking for one I'd need it. I got mine back in late December and I'm still counting my lucky stars that I even managed to get one.

Cool. Getting a new TV this year so I need a new console to really take advantage of it
ID: gywtqeuYeah, I got my LG Nanocell in December. Just love it! And I ordered my console in January, but it's still not here 🙁
But fortunately HDR, upscaling and overall experience on my PS4 is actually decent thanks to my TV so I'm pretty happy tbh
ID: gyx1c0zWhat’s the electricity consumption on that thing?
ID: gywrheaHell yeah. I borrowed a 1080p TV before i got my PS5. Bought a 4K HDR TV 2 months ago and fuck it looks better.
ID: gyy1eoeAlso coming from 1080p to 4k and can confirm, mind blowing.
-
Didn’t somebody from Sony within the last month said they expect supply/demand to be an issue through 2022? Or am I thinking of something else.
ID: gyw8h2vThey did, I don't remember who, but Jim Ryan is basically contradicting what was said last month. Honestly, it's probably not going to get any/much better. Probably just PR Optimism.

Definitely want one... Playstation has some interesting things going on not just exclusive games. I'm hoping to try out Dreams, make something weird and funny.
I wanna grind out Returnal past midnight. I wanna invade peoples games with Deathloop. I want to enjoy the backlog of games in the psplus collection.
I wanna enjoy everything that psplus allows me to do now and in the future. I wanna enjoy Sony movies and animated shows, including Funimation. I wanna enjoy a ps5 streaming app where I can watch any of my friends play games.
ID: gywkdn7Dreams is really good. Learning was easier than I thought and you'll be able to find help and tips easily. It's cool going through all the tutorials and then making a level or music of your own.
And Returnal... I'm loving that game. Currently trying to Platinum. Either which way you'll have plenty of good stuff to try.
ID: gyxd3lqI honestly just wanna play games without frames dropping lol
-
Ooh nice. Hoping I’ll be able to get one before the new Battlefield launches, love me some battlefield.
Would also be nice if I can get it before the new Horizon and GoW. Never played any of the exclusives though so got plenty of catching up to do (never had a ps4)
ID: gywuvgkHonestly, why not just get a cheap PS4 slim and catch up whilst you wait? That would take the pressure off somewhat!

Meanwhile I probably won't be able to get a new GPU until 2023...
ID: gyvhj2jmine died in the last week of last year, I somehow managed to nab one at the end of January.
ID: gyvhsywDamn that's unlucky but at least you managed to get something. I'm currently using a 1660S in my PC which can at least run new games but I really want to upgrade to a decent raytracing card. I've been checking stock updates a few times a day but no luck so far.
ID: gyw8223I've had luck with AMD's restocks. Secured a RX 6800 two weeks ago. They are usually around the same time every week, but they are regional. It lacks DLSS, which sucks, but it is a masterclass card for 1440p. Even the 6700XT is fairly solid, again with the same caveat.
Don't waste time trying to score a 6800XT or 6900 though, those two are prime scalper cards, with highest yield for return. Plus, I personally haven't seen AMD restock 6800 XTs in the past month.

Fingers crossed.
I had to cancel my launch pre order as my employment status was uncertain. My launch PS4 also just forced me to format/reinstall so i’m sort of itching for my next-gen upgrade.
-
I failed to get one from Walmart and ps5 direct today xd, I dunno why I keep trying at this point. It's disappointment every time.
ID: gyw5cjzI got mine through Sony direct last week - don’t give up! I used the Twitter alerts and jumped into the que on multiple devices and got it in 25 min. It seemed like I had a better chance than the chain store stock drops.
-
Hope some of said supply will come into India.

Press X to doubt

I hate to be a naysayer, but this is definitely PR talk. PS5 supply almost assuredly will not be increasing (or I should say getting noticeably better) until 2022 at the least. There is simply too much demand, part shortages, and simply not enough stock.
The one silver lining is that aftermarket prices have been lowering some. If you really wanted a PS5 now, you could get one for $750-$850 depending on which edition and which site you bought off of. That's still far more than MSRP, but it is better than the $1,000 PS5's from last yea
this year. I'm not saying buy scalped, but, at least the scalping market for PS5's seems to have hit a plateau.If you really want a console, sign up on Twitter to follow one of the stock trackers, like Wario64, keep an eye on PS Direct and Newegg Shuffle, and maybe enlist some friends to help (maybe offer them a couple bucks if they can nab one for you). It's doable, but you have to be willing to try for a few weeks, maybe even a month or two.

Started on Ratchet and Clank and now trying so hard to get the PS5 so I can play Rift Apart. The nostalgia hits hard with games like that
-
I like what I'm seeing about this console. But the availability and the exclusive games being few are still deterrent enough for me to be satisfied with just my ps4. But still, this is good new for those wanting to grab one (hopefully in srp) at least by the Xmas holidays by the looks of it.
-
I follow some guys on Twitter and they announce when the stores are doing Airdrops and I luckily got a PS5 bundle a couple days ago
-
This is good news hopefully

If people can buy them in stores. Until then bots will continue to dominate

PS5 stock is already easy to get compared to GPUs.
ID: gyuzo0qMy GPU has appreciated x3 since I bought it.
ID: gyv8q38Doesn’t matter if it’s “relatively “ easier. It still very difficult to get. The demand for PS5 far out weigh the switch and the switch is selling at 2:1 compared to PS5 for the past few months. Only 220K PS5s are available worldwide per week. I’m sure that amount, if it were available, will sell in one day in a third world country.
ID: gyvpnorwhere did you get the 220k figure? 8m/weeks since launch?

That’s awesome! May I ask why that is?
