A PlayStation news site for fans says Kohl's Corporation KSS left thousands of customers hanging when PlayStation 5 console bundles quickly sold out at its online store during the weekend.

What Happened: "Kohl’s unexpectedly listed PlayStation 5 consoles for sale," reported the site Pushsquare.com. "Thousands of people purchased a system from the store, but some of those orders are now being cancelled."

The consoles were bundled with a DualSense controller and a copy of a Spider-Man game, for a price of $639.99, according to Pushsquare.

Black Friday In A Pandemic: More such disappointments are likely as the much-anticipated next generations of Sony Corp's SNE PlayStation and its competitor, Microsoft Corporation's MSFT Xbox, hit the markets in time for Black Friday sales. This year, the holiday shopping frenzy is happening amid tightening COVID-related rules that are keeping people at home with plenty of time on their hands. Demand is likely to remain very high.
