PlayStation 5 Sales Soar - As Newport Business Supports Its Launch

Signs by A.J Wells and Sons

There have been long queues and websites crashing as gaming fans try to get hold of the PlayStation 5.

As previously reported by Isle of Wight Radio, Newport based A.J Wells and Sons played a crucial role in the launch by designing signs - which are now on display at Oxford Circus Tube Station.

The console went on sale today (Thursday) but retailers are struggling to cope with demand.

It has now reportedly sold out in some shops.

The creative marketing stunt forms part of an elaborate narrative that Sony has created in the lead-up to the UK launch.

In 24 hours time, the signs will then be displayed at the headquarters of Sony.
