Sony Interactive Entertainment CEO Jim Ryan says PlayStation 5 demand appears to be "very considerable" based on the number of pre-orders in the United States. Ryan spoke to Reuters about the consumer demand for the PS5 on October 27 and said: "The demand as expressed by the level of pre-order has been very, very considerable." Ryan said that Sony pre-sold as many PS5s in the first 12 hours of preorders in the United States as were sold in the first 12 weeks of preorders for the PlayStation 4.
