PS5 reportedly selling out in China following ****** Myth: Wukong launch

The PlayStation 5 is reportedly selling out in China following the launch of ****** Myth: Wukong.

According to consultant Daniel Camilo, the console is selling out across China, with stock at the country’s largest electronic store Huaqiangbei struggling to accommodate demand.
