When Sony finally starts taking pre-orders for its next-generation game console, the chances of getting a PS5 will be even better.

This is because Sony may limit pre-orders for its next-generation game console to one per person. This is what a member of the Resetera forum, who goes by the name Expy, dug up from a piece of JavaScript on the official PlayStation store.

The forum user found an error message added to the source code of the PlayStation Store page. "You can only purchase one version of the PS5 Console: disc or digital. You have already added one PS5 Console to your cart." The message "You have already added one PS5 Console to your cart.

There were rumors that there might be a shortage of PS5 consoles at launch, but Sony has apparently ramped up console production and should have enough PS5 consoles.

Still, Sony may struggle to keep up with demand. And limiting pre-orders to one per person may be a way to ensure that more PS5 buyers get their hands on the console.

Given that the PS5 will be a $500 console, PlayStation fans would have to have pretty deep pockets to purchase more than one at a time.

However, there are plenty of resellers looking for a chance to buy up as many PS5 consoles as possible. Limiting pre-orders to one per person is a way to level the playing field.
