Millions of PS5 consoles could be on the shelves of retailers around the world through April, potentially making the process of finding a PS5 purchase much easier

This is what a fairly reliable stock tipster, PS5 UK Stock - Instant Updates, claims, and Sony plans to ship nearly 3 to 4 million new consoles per month in the coming months This information apparently comes from Sony itself, but could not be confirmed at the time of this writing

PS5 UK Inventory - Instant Updates' inventory information has proven to be fairly accurate as to when to expect the PS5 to restock in the UK, but it is still worth being skeptical of this news This is because new PS5 restocking is very erratic, with retailers poised to receive a new shipment one day, only to drop a large number of new consoles about two days later

Even if a significant amount of inventory is pushed out each month, don't be surprised if the PS5 inventory shortage continues for some time yet; the buying interest for the PS5, and the Xbox Series X, is very high Every time new inventory is introduced, it sells out within minutes, most recently the PS5 bundle remained in stock for 15 minutes

Scammers trying to capitalize on the appetite for PS5 are using bots to buy up large quantities of PS5 inventory and resell it at exorbitant prices, but retailers seem to be taking some measures to stop this Still, this has not solved the problem of demand outstripping supply

Nevertheless, the news that more PS5 consoles could be coming out every month is positive Most of the 3 to 4 million units per month will be supplied to the US and Japan, where PlayStation has a large presence However, there is a good chance that inventories will increase in other regions as well, so if you are lucky and early enough, you may be able to get your hands on a PS5
