In its first year on the market, PlayStation 5 consoles may roll out in limited quantities. By the end of the fiscal year, which falls in March 2021, Sony plans to manufacture between five to six million PS5 systems. Comparatively, the PlayStation 4 moved about 7.5 million units in its first two quarters. The decision to limit supply is in part due to the company?s expectation that PS5?s specs will hike up the price, thus affecting demand at the outset. Coronavirus is dealing quite the blow to the tech giant?s intentions as well, specifically with regards to marketing.
Bloomberg reports that those familiar with Sony?s operations predict a hefty price tag for the new hardware. Reportedly, developers working on the PlayStation 5 anticipate costs somewhere between $499 and $549. As previously noted, Sony?s having to compete for components continues to create its own adverse affect. According to Bloomberg Intelligence?s Matthew Kanterman, the cost of said components also contributes to the price bump.
