Amazon: Hope You Weren't Expecting Your Pre-Ordered PS5 to Ship on Time - Gizmodo
Sep 19, 2020 58 secs

An email Amazon sent to numerous pre-order customers on Friday warns that their console may not arrive by its release date (Nov. 12 in the U.S.).

Amazon’s email goes on to say that customers can track the status of their order on its website and cancel unshipped items if they so choose, though it noticeably doesn’t mention anything about an alternative delivery date for delayed orders.

It’s not clear whether Amazon sent this email to everyone who pre-ordered a PS5 or only those in certain regions.

Earlier this week, Sony Interactive Entertainment CEO Jim Ryan told the Washington Post that while the coronavirus pandemic initially caused distribution issues when it first hit, Sony would have “more PlayStation 5 units ready for sale than they had PlayStation 4 units in 2013" when it releases.

According to Tom’s Guide, the Hong Kong-based retailer Play-Asia also sent an email blast to buyers on Friday encouraging them to cancel their pre-order due to “production and allocation limitations from distribution networks for the console.” It warned that PS5 stock is “incredibly scarce in all regions,” which only appears to confirm fears about a possible shortage come November.
