    This is the best summary I could come up with:

    Customers were frustrated at month-long waits for the PS5, with some queueing outside shops overnight, and others paying resellers sky-high prices.

    Christopher Ding, head of gaming news site Gamesindustry.biz, said the improvement to supply was important after players were unable to buy the new console.

    Sony’s upcoming hardware also includes a handheld gaming device, the PlayStation Portal, and its Access Controller for disabled gamers.

    The PlayStation Portal is a cross between a controller and a screen, visually similar to a Nintendo Switch or Steam Deck handheld PC.

    The Access Controller is a combination of different buttons, triggers and sticks that lets players create a set-up that suits their needs.

    Other manufacturers, such as Hori, have also developed accessible controllers, and in 2022 8BitDo made one for gamers with spinal muscular atrophy, after being contacted by a parent.
