After the surprise restocking of the PS5 on Prime Day, it was thought that Amazon would not stock the popular Sony gaming console for several weeks. However, a Reddit user claiming to be an Amazon employee suggests that the online retailer already has a significant stockpile of the coveted gaming console.

This information comes from a post by Reddit user Sure-Estate-8094. The poster claims to be an Amazon employee and states that there are only 50 PS5s in the warehouse where they work, but that the retailer has "1,000". This user states that he is "not sure how many Amazon actually has," but the implication of this posting is that the retailer is preparing to restock again soon.

This alleged Amazon employee also provided an image of what he claims is an image of the inside of an Amazon warehouse. In the background of the image is a pallet containing several PS5s and several large boxes. Presumably, these boxes also contain PS5 consoles.

While the image and accompanying post certainly suggest that the next Amazon PS5 restock is not too far away, another Reddit user theorizes that these consoles may actually be units sold during the retailer's last Prime Day restock The company's The employee has yet to refute this.

The contributor has not provided any confirmation that he actually works for Amazon. Although this image has not been seen elsewhere, it is still possible that it is part of an elaborate ruse. Furthermore, even if the poster is in fact an Amazon employee, he or she may be unintentionally spreading misinformation. It is definitely not advisable to accept this posting as guaranteed fact.

Frustratingly, it is likely that we will not know if this leak is legitimate until the next Amazon restocking actually takes place. Amazon never gives advance warning before restocking the PS5 or Xbox Series X.
