There has been a lot of talk about PlayStation 5 these days, especially after the event Sony presentation took place on Wednesday, September 16, which kept millions of fans from all over the world glued to the screen. The release date has finally been announced, the 19st November, a week late compared to the US and Canadian market and the launch price, set at € 499 for the version with optical reader and € 399 for the digital version. PlayStation 5 is therefore finally in pre-order on Amazon and other digital platforms, as well as in some physical stores, but the problems have already begun due to the countless orders placed. Geoff keighley, Canadian journalist and TV presenter who mostly deals with video games in programs such as GameTrailers TV, has in fact announced something potentially alarming for fans like him. On his profile Twitter has announced that he has been contacted via email by Amazon US, to inform him that he will not receive the pre-ordered Console during day one due to the very high demand. In the Twitt, attach the email received directly, which we report translated.

Hi, we are contacting you regarding your PlayStation 5 Digital Edition (B08FC6MR62) order to let you know that you will likely not receive the product on the first day of release due to high demand.
The email continues with the recommendation to consult the entry Your orders of Amazon to change the order or cancel it, followed by the usual greetings. For now, there is still no news regarding similar problems in Europe. It would therefore seem a case limited to the United States. Sony has not yet expressed itself on the matter, so we do not know if it will be a structural problem, perhaps due to the limited ability of some plants to be able to produce or transport a high number of consoles due to the measures anti-Covid or something simply momentary or geographically isolated. We will keep you updated as soon as possible.
