According to insiders of the portal Bloomberg, Sony Interactive Entertainment plans to make less Playstation 5 in the first year since launch than Playstation 4 for the same period.
The company limits its initial production cycle in part because it does not expect such high demand – the console will not be cheap, the developers surveyed by Bloomberg believe that they will ask for it from $ 499 to $ 549 (pricing will be taken into account Xbox Series X) For comparison, for the PlayStation 4 at the start they asked for $ 399, so it is predicted that fewer people will be able to afford the console. Global pandemic COVID-19 influenced Sony’s plans to promote the new device, but not its release.
According to the same data, Sony will ship by March 2023 from 5 to 6 million PlayStation 5. In comparison, when the company released PlayStation 4 in November 2013, the console sold 7.5 million units in the first two quarters.
Moreover, if Microsoft takes extra time on the Xbox Series X, then Sony may delay the launch of the PlayStation 5. In the meantime, both consoles plan to start selling at the end of 2023.
