But soon after Sony’s PS5 showcase ended, pre-orders opened at select retailers, and fans scattered their money down the aisle. Demand caused a stir Eurogamer reported earlier today: “As retailer websites floated under the pressure of the online crowd, the winners took to social media to celebrate, while the losers fled, hoping for good luck in the coming weeks.
