Shipments of PS5 consoles to the US in September had a 400 percent increase year-over-year, according to a financial analyst.
David Gibson, senior analyst at MST Financial, shared a graph on Twitter showing the imports to the US per month from June 2021 onwards, with a huge spike during last month.
Gibson added he believes some of the stock will go towards the launch of God of War Ragnarök, which makes a lot of sense. Ragnarök is the next first-party title for PlayStation, and Sony will be undoubtedly eager to capitalise on its release to bolster sales of the PS5.

There’s also the holiday season coming up which is likely to see an increase in demand. The PS5 has constantly been unable to meet demand, despite selling well at launch, but with these new figures it seems the supply chain issues which have hampered production of the console are starting to peter out.
