The store does include the DualSense variations: Midnight Black and Cosmic Red. There's also the Pulse 3D wireless headset in Midnight Black. It's unclear whether there will be more console stock direct from Sony rather than with other retailers. Says Sony: "our goal is to make it easier for PlayStation fans and gift givers to shop for consoles, games, and accessories." Console shortages are still widespread, although Sony has now sold 13.5m consoles worldwide. According to Intel, console and PC shortages are likely to continue into 2023.
