Delays in PlayStation 5 delivery due to its large size, UK store says
The UK’s largest gaming retailer with the laconic name Game blamed the size of the PlayStation 5 and the number of consoles on the market for shipping delays. Sony Interactive Entertainment launched the console across the European region, including Russia, today, but the launch hasn’t gone smoothly.
“Due to the large number of PlayStation 5s in the UK market and the size of the product, the launch has led to shipping issues across the UK for all retailers and couriers,” Game said in a statement. Additionally, the retailer blames its delivery partner, Yodel.
It is possible that Russian companies also faced a problem due to the size of the PlayStation 5 as well. On social media, preorders are complaining about not getting their console. An OZON official, for example, apologizes and claims that part of the PlayStation 5 is completely stuck at customs.
Obviously, in the near future (which may take months), the PlayStation 5 will be extremely difficult to purchase in the store. It is not known when Sony Interactive Entertainment will adjust the supply.
