Sony says that the PS5 launch was the biggest in the companys console history

While the PS5 has no official launch date in India, it clearly has not stopped it from being Sony’s biggest console launch yet. While there have been no official sales figures announced, the company claims that it is its “biggest launch ever”. In a tweet posted yesterday, Sony thanked gamers who supported the PS5 launch but also confirmed that demand was outstripping supply and that there are definitely shortages of the console in the market. 

We want to thank gamers everywhere for making the PS5 launch our biggest console launch ever. Demand for PS5 is unprecedented, so we wanted to confirm that more PS5 inventory will be coming to retailers before the end of the year - please stay in touch with your local retailers.

Sony also confirmed that the company will make sure that there will be more inventory in the coming months so that fans of the PS5 can actually get their hands on the console, in time for the holidays. In terms of launch records, the previous one was set by the PS4 when it was announced by Sony that the console had sold 2.1 million units after going on sale on 15 November 2013. Demand is so high scalpers managed to snag about 3500 consoles. Digit even went to known games and console retailers and found out that they were selling the PS5 for Rs 90,000 a pop!

So yes, the hype is real and so are the exorbitant prices. Sony have confirmed that the PS5 will cost Rs 50,000 for the Disc Edition and Rs 40,000 for the Digital Edition. But again, there’s no launch date announced for India yet.

What if a botched Google search card says you are a serial killer

Many of us have come to heavily rely on Google Search and often don’t question the veracity of information Google cherry-picks from the vast data available on the world wide web for its search cards. This incident, which is one part funny and two parts scary, makes it clear that Google’s Knowlege Graph may not be as sacrosanct as you may have believed.  Hristo Georgiev was informed by a former colleague that a Google search of his name returned a Google Knowlege Graph that depicted his photo and linked it to a Bulgarian rapist and serial killer of the same name, also known as ‘The Sadist’, who murdered five people back in the 1970s and was later executed by shooting.  The graph linked the info to a Wikipedia article, which incidentally had no link to any of Georgiev’s profile or his image. It was Google’s algorithms that erroneously matched the two. What’s even more problematic is that Hristo Georgiev is not a unique name and is shared by hundreds of other people.  As...
