Shops will receive more stock of the new PlayStation 5 before the end of the year, Sony has pledged, after its next-generation console sold out.
The tech giant said it had received “unprecedented” demand, making it their “biggest console launch ever”.
Stock quickly ran out after Thursday’s launch day in Ireland and the UK, as gamers struggled to secure a unit due to long online queues and crashing websites.
The PS5 has been hailed as a “new era for gaming” by the Japanese firm, with the new system promising 4K resolution gameplay, higher-quality graphics and faster loading times.
