PlayStation 5, which appeared in 2020 and struggled with stock problems for about two years, could not meet Sony’s expectations. However, the Japan-based tech giant has promised to take giant steps to resolve the crisis over PS5 and PS4 stocks. So, after these steps, will the PlayStation 5 price be cheaper?
PS5 stocks will rise to unprecedented levels
In the last meeting held by Sony executives to investors, the roadmap for accelerating the production of PlayStation 5 was revealed. The new generation console lagged behind PS4 with sales figures in 2021. The technology giant announced that it plans to close the gap in both PS4 and PS5 sales this year.
Sony, which said that PlayStation 5 sales fell due to the long-standing supply chain shortage to investors, lashed out at the ‘lack of demand’ claims. According to Sony, there is a big shortage in supply, not demand. Stating that it sold 80 thousand PlayStation 5 in just 82 minutes, the company said that the same number of PlayStation 4 was sold in nine days.
Sony’s making this comparison between PS5 and PS4 still didn’t seem plausible. While there are multiple reasons for this, investors are aware that the PlayStation 5 has had stock problems for a long time. Customers who want to buy the new generation console are rushing to the stores as the stocks are full.
Sony has promised to produce more PS5s after supply shortages subside. The company, which has problems in parts availability due to the ongoing Covid-19 restrictions in China and the Russia-Ukraine war, does not ignore logistics in addition to these situations.
Sony’s new plans include increasing PS5 and PS4 production by contracting with multiple partners. He also stated that he will increase negotiations with countries in order to create new delivery routes for logistics. As part of this roadmap, the Japanese company believes PS5 sales could surpass PS4s starting next year.
Sony also mentioned its investments in game studios at the investor meeting and drew attention to the expansion of PlayStation Studios. Company; announced that it has increased its steps towards the services, PC and mobile world.
