Demand for the PlayStation 5 is still sky high two months after it was first released.

Avid gamers have been scrambling to try and get their hands on one, with retailers selling out almost as quickly as they take delivery of the Sony console.

As a result, many people have still been unable to buy one.

However, one of the Twitter accounts widely followed by PS5 fans has been issuing updates on when retailers could next restock.

On Wednesday they tweeted to say stocks at Argos are not expected until later in the month, but Curry's, Very and GAME could drop sooner.

They also issued a warning about a fake Amazon offer.

Rumours have been circulating that BT and EE could be a frontrunner for new stock, but nothing has been confirmed.

In a trading statement Sony has also reported selling more than 4.5million PS5 consoles since November 13, and aims to sell another 3million by the end of the fiscal year.

A top Sony boss has also shed light on why the consoles are so hard to find.

The Chief Financial Officer Hiroki Totoki said at a press briefing: ”It is difficult for us to increase production of the PS5 amid the shortage of semiconductors and other components.”

The shortage of consoles has led to extraordinary scenes in Japan.
