Sony’s top management has bad news for video gamers who have been waiting months for their chance to get hold of a Playstation 5. The delivery bottleneck seems to persist.
The Playstation 5 has already been sold almost 8 million times. That sounds like a lot. But the demand is so great that Sony could have sold significantly more of the consoles. If they had any.
Demand greater than inventory
According to media reports, Sony’s CFO Hiroki Totoki expressed himself very negatively in background discussions when it comes to the arrival of new, fresh Playstation 5 on the world market.
It is an immense challenge to meet the great demand for the game console. Above all, the tense situation in the field of semiconductor production is throttling production of the PS5. “I don’t think the situation will ease this year. Even if we started up production again and wanted to produce more units, our suppliers would not be able to keep up with the great demand, ”says Totoki quoted.
Last week, competitor Nintendo also warned that the shortage of certain components could significantly slow down the production of the Switch.
