PS5: While the forecasts are bad news for the home console market, it is still possible to get a Playstation 5, provided you react quickly in the event of restocking. Our live point.
[Mis à jour le 16 mai 2022 à 08h36] The Playstation will have had a funny first year of existence. The Sony console has been in a more than abnormal situation since its release in November 2020, in the midst of a coronavirus pandemic, and in the midst of a crisis in the semiconductor market. The PS5, in high demand due to its high-end performance and relatively reasonable price, has become a hot item, too hot even, for buyers who have been trying to obtain it for almost a year and a half. But if the competition is fierce, it is always possible to buy the console without going through resale sites (where it is offered at prices higher than its new value), provided you react within a minute in the event of restocking at a dealer.
