Report: Sony Increasing Production of PS5 to 10 Million Consoles to Meet Demand
A Bloomberg report from earlier this year claimed Sony intended to manufacturer only a select number of PlayStation 5 units in the console?s first year to market. Reportedly, that number sat somewhere between five to six million units by the end of this fiscal year in March 2021. Due to concerns regarding a second wave of coronavirus, the manufacturer estimates more people will be left at home, leaving them in want of new entertainment. Thus, a demand for gaming may surge quite drastically. Sony, then, aims to increase its PlayStation 5 output to 10 million units this year.
Sources reportedly familiar with Sony?s operations told Bloomberg that despite this revised plan, the company may still struggle to bring all 10 million consoles to market. Shipping constraints appear to be the primary reason, since a majority of PlayStation consoles are made in China, then shipped to North America and Europe via ocean lines. Bloomberg notes Nintendo previously had trouble restocking the Switch earlier in the year for this very reason.
