Walmart Plus membership, benefits and price explained

While a relatively large number of PS5 and Xbox Series X consoles were made available at retail in time for Christmas, supply has been tight in early 2022.

A GameStop PS5 sale event held last Friday was the retailer’s first in-store PS5 restock for 43 days.

Sony is currently taking registrations for the chance to buy PS5 consoles directly from the company.

Registration is currently open for players based in the US, UK, Germany, France, Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg.

PS5 will outsell Xbox Series X/S consoles two-to-one this year, data and analytics firm Ampere Analysis has predicted.

Ampere research director Piers Harding-Rolls has forecast 18 million sales for Sony’s console in 2022 and nine million sales for Microsoft’s systems. However, he expects Switch to be the year’s leading console with 21 million sales.
