PlayStation CEO Jim Ryan promises more PS5 units than for PS4 launch

In a recent interview with The Washington Post, Jim Ryan assured that there will be more PlayStation 5 units available at launch than they had PS4 units back in 2013.

Ryan said:

"Sony will have more PlayStation 5 units ready for sale than they had PlayStation 4 units in 2013."

About 2.1 million PlayStation 4 units sold worldwide two weeks after its 2013 launch, with a million in the first day alone.

The official Twitter handle for PlayStation confirmed that pre-orders for the PS5 consoles will begin from September 17, 2020 (may vary with different timezones and regions) at selected retailers.

However, things didn't go well as many stores started taking pre-orders right after the showcase event, thanks to different timezones and the lack of detailed pre-order timings.

PS5 pre-orders will be available starting as early as tomorrow at select retailers.
