Company Sony Interactive Entertainment decided to increase production Playstation 5 due to the increased demand for games and consoles amid the coronavirus pandemic. This is with reference to its sources, the Japanese edition reports. Nikkei.
According to informants, Sony asked its partners to double production so that more people could buy a console in the upcoming Christmas season and after it.
Agency Bloomberg adds that now Sony wants to collect up to 10 million PlayStation 5 consoles as early as 2023while a few months ago she intended to put on the market only 5-6 million consoles by March 31, 2023 (less than the PlayStation 4 in the first half of the quarter).
The first batch, consisting of five million consoles, is hoped to be assembled before the end of September 2023, another one by the end of December. However, it is likely that not all of these systems will reach store shelves during the Christmas season, as they need to be transported around the world from Asia, which takes time. Nevertheless, with such arrays of ready-for-sale devices, Sony will be able to respond more quickly to demand than it was in 2013-2014 with the PlayStation 4.
It is also reported that Sony increased the production of gamepads Dualense in accordance with the adjusted plans for the PlayStation 5 (initially the company ordered 10 million controllers for the fiscal year).
Mass production of the PlayStation 5 began in June 2023..
The prefix starts in the fall – at about the same time as Microsoft’s Xbox Series X.
