Even though the PS5 celebrates its second anniversary in November 2022, Sony’s latest console is still hard to find for ordinary folks. The fault, of course, is the permanent lack of electronic components and the tensiocenses that the manufacturer encounters on their production lines. And of course, the outbreak of war in Ukraine did not help matters.
in October 2022 however, we got a glimmer of hope from Sony. As a matter of fact, the Japanese company has confirmed that it wants to produce more than 30 million PS5s in 2023 to put an end to this shortage. In the United States, we already know that PS5 stocks have increased 400% between September and November 2022, precisely for the launch of God of War Ragnarok.
And in the UK, Sony managed to sell over 2 million PS5s in October 2022, making it the 4th best-selling console of all time in the UK within a month, just behind the PS3. A great performance despite the 30 lira inflation-related price increase implemented since August 2022. Note that the price of PS5 in France has increased by €50 with each release from this date on.
No more PS5 supply worries in Asia
And this Thursday, December 8, 2022, we learned that Sony has resolved PS5 supply issues in Japan and many Asian countries. At any rate, Sony Interactive Entertainment boss Jim Ryan said during the presentation of the Playstation Partner Awards in Japan.
“We would like to inform everyone that we have resolved the long-standing supply issue of the Playstation 5 and will be able to deliver it to many of our customers in Japan and Asia from this year-end shopping period to 2023″, It guarantees the leader of Playstation. chasing: “We apologize for any inconvenience. However, I am very grateful for everyone’s understanding and cooperation.”
In fact, it can rightly be thought Sony will now focus its efforts on tackling supply issues in the European market. What should perhaps be considered an improvement in the situation for the beginning of 2023? We have to cross our fingers.
