Sony Group Corp announced the reduction of the manufacture of its PlayStation 5 (pS5) console as a consequence of the global crisis on some of the components such as chips. The company planned to manufacture 16 million units by March of the next fiscal year; but they will go down to only 15 million due to a shortage of processors.
Sources close to the management of the company’s operations highlighted that this reduction could significantly affect the sales goals established at 14.8 million and the supply or supply of the PS5 production.
Console sales were already impacted in the last three months so far this year, when a figure “slightly weaker than expected” was reported, as expressed by the company’s chief financial officer, Hiroki Totoki, at a press conference.
Totoky reiterated that the situation is a consequence of limitations and logistical problems, as well as a shortage of components for electronic devices such as “new generation PlayStation and Xbox consoles, whose supply fails to meet demand.”
It is important to recall that PS5 exceeded PS4 sales figures in the first quarter of 2021, with about 7.8 million compared to 7.6 today, while PS4 registered sales of 13.4 million in the first quarter. quarter, compared to 13.8 million.
