Crazy. How do people even buy them? Haha. I've been looking around and the console itself is unlisted in many stores. :lol

Demand doesn't feel like it has nearly been satisfied so I assume this just means Sony shipped a ton this month.

Damn! I do wonder is the Switch as popular in the UK as it is in other regions?
It's currently the second best selling console in the UK for this year (behind PS5 obviously), so it seems to be pretty popular yeah.

So far this new generation seems to be playing out like the last where PlayStation sells the most, then Nintendo then Xbox.

F1 2021 holds position at the top of the UK charts for a second week

The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD remains second whilst Neo: The World Ends With You entered the charts at number 10

Based on the Switch games in the current Top 40...what do you think ?
I mean, R&C sold 1.1 million and is listed as #40 on this list and PS5 is selling more than Switch and Xbox combined. We already know that software sales =/= to console sales. Especially when talking about PS/Xbox which are a lot of the times used as third party machines.

There is only so many they can make so whoever gets a larger amount of PS5's will likely outsell the other consoles. USA and Europe is going to be their top priority.

Sure, also under extreme supply constraints. Maybe PS5 would've sold a lot more? But Xbox probably would've moved into second if they could match demand.
Oh absolutely. PS5 would do absolute numbers if they could meet demand. I still know a few people that still haven't managed to secure one and it's almost been a year now.

Anecdotally it seems a lot easier to get a Series X than a PS5 in the UK, although both are supply constraint. Demand for Series S just isn't there as it's always in stock.

I just hope it's easy enough to pick up a PS5 by the time PSVR2 launches. Supply issues can't last another whole year, right?

Good to see more stock coming in. If they make it, they will sell it. Demand is very high.

I had a few friends who managed to find consoles in July, sounds like they had good stock! Well done to everyone that got one!

You asked how popular the system was and I assume it's popular enough if half the games in the charts are more or less exclusive to that plattform.

I mean from now on the PS5 will be dominating the UK hardware charts unless stock gets critically low again.
