Corporation Sony informed investors about the expected deficit Playstation 5 until next year… This is reported by the edition Bloomberg

According to information posted online, at a private briefing for investors and analysts last week, CFO Hiroki Totoki noted that he does not expect demand for PS5 to decrease this year, and even if the company can increase production of consoles and collect more by the next, shipments will still not keep up with demand.

“We’ve sold over 100 million PlayStation 4 units, and given our market share and reputation, I can’t imagine demand dropping so easily.”

However, the company’s latest report showed that the surge in demand for home entertainment following the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic is gradually stabilizing. Number of monthly active users Playstation network fell from 114 million in the last quarter of 2023 to 109 million in the January-March period, while game sales are down from the same period last year.
