Initial Announcement 12/02/2022: Hamburg, Germany - In November, PlayStation Direct, Sony’s PS5 outlet, outsold the number of drops, dwarfing all other PS5 vendors in the country. But does the drip craze continue into December? We are looking at the current status of PS Direct shipments.
Buying a PS5 from PlayStation Direct: Drop Madness in November - what’s in store for you in December?
When was the last time you could buy a PS5 through PlayStation Direct? November has been the busiest month since the console’s release in terms of PS5 shipments, and PlayStation Direct has been a major contributor to this. The Sony Factory Store actually offered the PlayStation 5 12 times in November (last time 11.30.) - unheard of! Not from PS Direct, not from any other retailer.
Interestingly, most of the sales occurred spontaneously, without prior announcement, and at unusual and random times. Without a queue and an invitation, you could afford not only the new official God of War Ragnarok set, but also the FIFA 23 or Modern Warfare 2 set, as well as the consoles themselves. With this drop frenzy, Sony was able to please thousands of players last month. But what will happen now?
How about restocking PS5 via PlayStation Direct? It is not very clear yet, the December fall has not happened yet. But Sony has promised more PS5 restocking for the holiday season, and that’s still going on for a while. Therefore, among PS5 hunters, it is suggested that the last month of the year, especially before Christmas, could very well be similar to November - especially for PS Direct. Sony factory sales are still considered very promising. So keep your eyes open. If Sony continues to do what it did in November, something could happen on PlayStation Direct almost every day.
Also interesting: Sony launched a massive PS5 pre-order campaign for early December. This PS5 action is not limited to one vendor, but to 10 resellers, more may be added. If you want to know more about this great event, don’t miss a single episode, and always stay up to date with the current PlayStation 5 restocking situation, be sure to check our PS5 Live Ticker regularly.
