The Sony CFO, following the corporate’s latest earnings report, instructed analyst that Sony doesn’t anticipate the PlayStation 5 provide to enhance any time quickly. According to a report in Bloomberg, Totoki mentioned that it’s tough for Sony to maintain up with the demand for the PS5, and that the scenario is more likely to proceed into 2022. “I don’t assume demand is calming down this yr and even when we safe much more units and produce many extra items of the PlayStation 5 subsequent yr, our provide wouldn’t have the ability to meet up with demand,” Totoki was quoted by Bloomberg as saying.
Totoki also said that the company has sold more than 100 million units of the PlayStation 4 and considering the company’s market share, it can’t imagine the demand dropping easily or soon.

The company sold 14.8 million PlayStation 4 consoles in its first full fiscal year but didn’t experience severe supply constraints for most of that period, hinting at the demand for the PlayStation 5 being significantly higher.
