Sony India has restocked the company’s next-gen gaming console, PlayStation5. The gaming console will be made available through Sony authorized stores and online retailers like Amazon, GamesTheShop, and ShopatSC on February 22 at 12:00 PM IST for re-pre-orders. It is the second time in 2022 that the PS5 is available for pre-order. The first restock took place on January 18 of this year.
The company launched PlayStation 5 in November 2020, and a few months later, Sony India brought PS5 to India on February 2, 2021. Since then, the PS5 has seen a lot of demand in the country, and the console gets sold out very fast. Due to semiconductor shortages and supply chain constraints, Sony has not met the demand for its PS5 globally.

PlayStation 5 shortage
In addition to the standard PS5 console, the PS5 Digital Edition went on sale in the country for the first time through Sony Center.

Reportedly, a total of 17.3 million units have been shipped as of December 31. Notably, the gaming division’s revenue fell 8 percent year-on-year (YoY) to 813.3 billion yen ($7.09 billion), but operating profit rose 12.1 percent to 92.9 billion yen ($810 million) as per Verge.
In addition, Sony’s important image sensor division had a good quarter, with sales up 22 percent year over year to 57.8 billion ($504 million).
