Sony has apologised for the way that PS5 pre-orders went down and said that more pre-orders will become available with stock arriving deep into the holiday season. It’s important to note that this likely only a true statement for the USA.
Australian pre-orders were handled differently, with retailers such as EB Games taking waves of pre-orders up until early 2021, so even if more stock were to become available (I don’t think it will), then it’ll likely go to those that have already paid a deposit for a console beyond launch.

In the USA, retailers went live with pre-orders before they were supposed to, causing them to sell out almost instantly.
THE STATEMENT FROM SONY REGARDING PS5 PRE-ORDERS
Let’s be honest: PS5 preorders could have been a lot smoother.
We truly apologize for that. Over the next few days, we will release more PS5 consoles for preorder – retailers will share more details.
And more PS5s will be available through the end of the year.
