We waited patiently for PlayStation to follow suit, after they’d previously stated they would give gamers “plenty of advance notice”. Release date of November 10th, price of $750AUD and pre-order date of September 22nd around the world. Xbox didn’t mention any potential trouble like this, but there still loomed an overarching question around just how many Xbox Series X consoles would be available on launch. Rumours swirled, and official reports even stated that there would be a lack of PS5’s available on launch due to a shortage of stock. There has been a massive increase in video game sales, and the next generation feels like the perfect addition to our cabinet right now, after months of boredom stuck in our homes. Globally, we’ve spent most of the year battling uncertainty and strict lockdown measures due to COVID-19. There are a number of reasons why this could have occurred. To put it bluntly, the Xbox Series X and PS5 pre-orders were a clusterf**k. Plenty have come away from the experience unlikely to receive either console until 2021. They both handled their pre-order situation quite differently, but each had serious challenges that left customers angry, stressed and exhausted. The dust has finally settled after a week of absolute chaos when it comes to pre-ordering a fancy next-gen console, whether it’s the PlayStation 5 or the Xbox Series X.
