When will PS5 Slim appear in Russia?

Global sales start new Sony PlayStation 5 console, which is also called PS5 Slim, is planned for November, but the majority of Russian retailers plan to bring the device only at the beginning of 2024. About it write Izvestia with reference to comments from market participants.

Thus, M.Video-Eldorado is targeting January. Ozon noted that the gadget will go on sale only in February. And Wildberries said that deliveries will begin “simultaneously with other market participants.”

Only representatives of the restore network noted that they hope to begin sales of the new PlayStation 5 in November. It is unknown how large the batch of devices will be, but it is unlikely that it will be able to satisfy all demand. In addition, given the limited supply, prices will likely be much higher than the official ones.

As one of Izvestia’s interlocutors noted, they are also in no hurry to sell new consoles on the gray market. If you bring the console after the global start of sales, then it is obvious that it will cost at least two times more than the regular version of PlayStation 5 - 100–120 thousand rubles instead of the usual 50–60 thousand.

With all this, the experts interviewed are confident that the new product is doomed to success in Russia. Do you agree?
