Sony Will “Let You Know” When PS5 Pre-Orders Will Go Up
/
“Don’t feel like you have to go run out and line up anywhere,” said Eric Lempel, Sony’s Worldwide Head of Marketing to Geoff Keighley on today’s Summer Games Fest stream where the PS5’s DualSense controller was shown off.
Earlier this week, rumors surfaced that the PS5 would be made available for pre-order soon, but were quickly debunked. Lempel told Keighley that there’d be no surprises when it comes customers putting down money early. “I think it’s safe to say we’ll let you know when preorder will happen,” said Lempel. “It’s not going to happen with a minute’s notice.”
“We’re going to at some point let you know when you can preorder PlayStation 5. So, please, don’t feel like you have to go run out and line up anywhere until you receive official notice on how that will work.” So remain calm everyone. Pre-orders will happen, but Sony will let everyone know ahead of time.
In any case, Sony hopes to keep up with demand. The company is reportedly ramping up production of the new console, with plans to manufacture 10 million units before the end of the year.
The slimmer version of the PlayStation 5 will officially hit the Philippines on March 27 as pre-orders are now open in local retailers, roughly four months after this new version hit stores in the US and other select regions.
