Sony's PS5 sales numbers don't tell the entire story, like how many PS5 Disc vs PS5 Digital consoles have been sold.

PS5 restock tracker Matt Swider has helped 63,000 people in the US buy a next-gen console in 2021 with his tireless 24/7 tracking, in-stock Twitter alerts and exclusive restock reporting.

If you're having trouble finding PS5 in stock, we have our 24/7 PS5 restock tracker Matt Swider, who will send you an alert – if you follow his Twitter account and turn on notifications.

Matt sends out these console restock alerts every time the PS5 is in stock in the US.

His exclusive reporting on the GameStop PS5 restock last week led to around 800 people finally getting the Sony console through his alerts.

Directions: Click on this image of an example of this Best Buy PS5 restock alert from Matt Swider and turn on notifications (that little bell icon) for instant alerts.

So we've recently expanded our advice from simply sending out alerts on Twitter (we still do that) and breaking news here on TechRadar, to live coaching people on how to check out of the various US retailers via YouTube.

What Sony hasn't disclosed is how many of the 10 million PS5 consoles were PS5 Digital.

When American retail stores like Best Buy, Target and Walmart stock both versions of the PS5 console, they always have more PS5 Disc inventory than Digital; the latter runs out almost instantly.

Target, right before one recent PS5 restock, had 40 PS5 Disc consoles on hand and one single PS5 Digital in several store locations in the United States.

Sure enough, PS5 Digital was a flash of a restock the next day, while many people got PS5 Disc.

"But I don't want those games," said a Matt Swider follower when he complained how impossible it was to buy a PS5, noting he's "been trying for months".

It's true though – and people still don't listen.

In all cases, the answer is "no, it's not legitimate." If major stores in the US like Best Buy don't have PS5 stock for more than a few minutes, no one is going to sell you a console through CashApp for just $550
