Sony PS5 India stock improves significantly despite chip shortage

The Sony Playstation 5 recently went on sale on May 16, 2022, but a lot of people were easily able to purchase the gaming console without any major issues. Ever since its launch, the current-gen gaming consoles - the PS5 and the Xbox Series X, have remained out of stock. Online scalping and chip shortage remain two main reasons why the PS5 remains out of stock. The same is also the situation with the Xbox Series X too but its smaller version, the Series S, remains in stock more often than not. 

Hey ICG! From which website did you buy PS5 today?#IndianConsoleGamers #ps5 #ps5india #restockps5india

Both the PS5 and the Xbox Series X are in the second year of their life cycle. At this time, these consoles should have been readily available in physical shops around the world. But due to the global chip crisis, stock issues remain persistent. Another bit of bleak news came from Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger who warned that the chip shortage could stretch into 2024. But he did say that Intel is ready to face these upcoming challenges. 

Despite a bleak outlook, the recent PS5 India restock was a relatively great success. It was the second consecutive PS5 India restock that Sony conducted in a span of two months. And while the last PS5 India restock was seemingly a disaster due to very few units available, the latest one easily gave buyers a fair chance to nab a brand new PS5 for themselves, as per the Twitter handle @ICGOriginal. The handle publishes information regarding the restocking of next-gen consoles and related accessories, helping users to buy them at MSRP or at a discount if possible. 

PS5 India Stock Improves Giving Hope For The Future

In a recent poll to their viewers, it came to light that around 25% of the page followers were successful in securing a PS5 for themselves. Around 20% had no success, and around 34% of the audience already has a PS5. In the comment section of the Tweet, a lot of people were also sharing news of how they were successful in buying a PS5 at MSRP.    According to another poll, Amazon came out on top with 41% votes as the platform for enabling most users to buy a PS5. Meanwhile, Sony was in second place with a 29% share, Meanwhile, Flipkart and Reliance digital were in the third stage place with 20% votes. Croma Vijay sales were last with 10% votes. Sony had a lot of stock this time, it is confirmed by the fact that despite re-sellers scoring a good number of units for themselves as revealed via an unofficial reseller group, a lot of retail buyers were also able to secure one for themselves. 

Chip shortage or not, the PS5 restock situation is improving dramatically. The Xbox Series X restock situation is objectively bad. The Xbox brand has no official presence on Twitter hence users get no official announcement. Xbox Series X stock usually drops in limited quantities and on random days, which some fans see as a disheartened effort from Microsoft to appeal to the Indian gamer. The PlayStation brand has always had a strong presence in India and with the way this console generation seems to be progressing, things are likely to remain the same.

This week in Android: It’s weird phone week

We got to play with a lot of cool tech at CES 2019 , but little was cooler than the Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 . Qualcomm had a reference device  sporting the new SoC and we were able to put it through its paces , including our very own Speed Test G . The results are impressive. In other big news this week, we found out  Motorola is planning on bringing back the Razr phone , made famous in the mid 2000s. We don’t know a lot about the phone itself, but we can make some guesses  based on a patent  from August of last year. Plus, we look ahead at the future of LG and OnePlus , including a new peculiar accessory for LG . Also, we have good news and bad news about Huawei’s security. Here are your top stories for the week 4:20 – Snapdragon 855 performance and benchmarking: Speed Test G, AnTuTu & Geekbench At CES, Gary Sims previewed the  Snapdragon 855 processor in reference hardware.

My product launch wishlist for Instagram, Twitter, Uber and more

‘Twas the night before Xmas, and all through the house, not a feature was stirring from the designer’s mouse . . . Not Twitter! Not Uber, Not Apple or Pinterest! On Facebook! On Snapchat! On Lyft or on Insta! . . . From the sidelines I ask you to flex your code’s might. Happy Xmas to all if you make these apps right. Instagram See More Like This – A button on feed posts that when tapped inserts a burst of similar posts before the timeline continues. Want to see more fashion, sunsets, selfies, food porn, pets, or Boomerangs? Instagram’s machine vision technology and metadata would gather them from people you follow and give you a dose. You shouldn’t have to work through search, hashtags, or the Explore page, nor permanently change your feed by following new accounts. Pinterest briefly had this feature (and should bring it back) but it’d work better on Insta. Web DMs  – Instagram’s messaging feature has become the defacto place for sharing memes and trash talk about peopl...

First ever drone-delivered kidney is no worse for wear

Drone delivery really only seems practical for two things: take-out and organ transplants. Both are relatively light and also extremely time sensitive. Well, experiments in flying a kidney around Baltimore in a refrigerated box have yielded positive results — which also seems promising for getting your pad thai to you in good kit. The test flights were conducted by researchers at the University of Maryland there, led by surgeon Joseph Scalea. He has been frustrated in the past with the inflexibility of air delivery systems, and felt that drones represent an obvious solution to the last-mile problem. Scalea and his colleagues modified a DJI M600 drone to carry a refrigerated box payload, and also designed a wireless biosensor for monitoring the organ while in flight. After months of waiting, their study was assigned a kidney that was healthy enough for testing but not good enough for transplant. Once it landed in Baltimore, the team loaded it into the container and had it travel 14 ...
