Tesco, John Lewis and GAME all crash on the launch date of the PlayStation 5 as gamers scramble to find a console
- PlayStation 5 launched in the US last week and is on sale today in the UK
- Sites selling the console struggled with the huge volume of visitors
The websites of major UK retailers have crashed due to extraordinary demand for the PlayStation 5 console, which has launched today.
Tesco, GAME and John Lewis all went down, leaving would-be customers unable to get hold of the coveted console.
Currys PC World has not crashed but, due to enormous volume, has implemented a virtual queue to restrict traffic. More than 120,000 people were in the queue.
