For the majority of its time on the market, Sony Interactive Entertainment's (SONY  ) PlayStation 5 has been notoriously difficult to find. Roughly two years after the console was introduced, Sony's President and CEO, Jim Ryan, says the PS5 shortage should be over.

"Everyone who wants a PS5 should have a much easier time finding one at retailers globally starting from this point forward," Ryan said during a press conference at Sony's 2023 Consumer Electronics Show on January 4.

According to Ryan, 30 million PS5's have now been sold worldwide, with the "biggest month ever" for PS5 sales coming in December of last year. Based on sales figures reported the month before, its estimated that Sony sold roughly 5 million consoles in December alone.

"We truly appreciate the support and the patience of the PlayStation community as we managed unprecedented demand amid global challenges over the past two years," Ryan said on Wednesday.

Since its November 2020 release, the PS5 has faced a number of supply chain problems. In addition to the pandemic-related issues affecting the entire economy, production of new consoles was also held up by a semiconductor shortage.

As a result of those combined difficulties, just 20 million consoles had been sold as of June 2021. PS5's quickly disappeared off of store shelves as soon as they were restocked, and actually purchasing a PS5 took either a lot of luck or a lot of extra money.

While The Verge reported that some stores have PS5's available for purchase, that isn't true for all locations. Reporters found that both BestBuy (BBY  ) and GameStop (GME  ) stores were out of stock as of January 5 at noon. Even the version The Verge found available at stores was part of a higher priced bundle option.
