GameTech: PlayStation chaos may require you switch to an alternative Plan X

Retailers have mostly sold out of the PS5, so the difficult choice for many will be  to either wait until an unknown date in 2021, or think about a different console

The launch of the PlayStation 5 has caused huge stress for parents, shops and gameplayers, with stores in Ireland and beyond unable to keep up with the demand.
