Today it was revealed that the Playstation 5 It had already sold 17.3 million units since its launch in November 2020. The new console from Sonydespite the shortage problems, has had a strong start, but not as strong as the Japanese company anticipated.
As part of your most recent financial report, Sony said they anticipated selling 14.8 million PS5 By March 2022, however, considering the problems related to the lack of chips and microcomponents, the Japanese firm reduced this figure to 11.5 million units sold. Hiroki Totoki, financial director at Sonysaid the following:
“Unfortunately, due to component supply constraints, especially semiconductors, and increased lead times as a result of global distribution supply chain disruption, we have revised our forecast for PS5 unit sales from fiscal year 21 to 11.5 million.
Component supply constraints are expected to continue in the future, but we continue to do our best to meet the strong demand for PS5.”
Totoki does not expect that these problems can be solved in the short term, however, it considers that it is important that Sony keep your expectations high.
Publisher’s note: Unfortunately, this problem is also impacting other industries, and not just video games. In addition, it is a problem that is out of the hands of many of these companies, so the only solution currently is to adapt to the needs of the market.
