While the new Xbox hit shelves worldwide on Tuesday, the PS5 was available from yesterday in Australia, Japan, Mexico, New Zealand, North America and South Korea, but gamers elsewhere will have to wait until November 19.“It’s Covid, so I guess not many people want to rush to a launch,” said Theo Pasialis as he collected his PlayStation.
Sony expects to sell 7.6 million PS5 consoles by the end of March — beating the performance of the PS4. The PS5 is priced at US$500 , like the Xbox Series X, while a version without a disk reader costs US$400.
