Sony, which has been struggling with PlayStation 5 stock shortages since it was announced in 2020, seems to have finally solved the problem. Sony CEO Jim Ryan said more PS5 consoles will be released in Asia and Japan starting next year.
PlayStation 5 stock issue will be fixed in 2023
Sony announced in its financial report published in the past months that it has solved the problem of the supply chain shortage that limits PS5 production. The new statement from Sony CEO Jim Ryan shows that the distribution of PlayStation 5 will accelerate.
According to the statement in Sony Japan, the stock issue in Asia and Japan will be resolved in 2023. Anticipating that many more consoles will be introduced to the market and meet customer demand, Sony will “re-announce” PlayStation 5 by 2023.
Announced in November of 2020, in the midst of the global pandemic, PlayStation 5 joined the caravan of products with supply chain problems. With this came a worldwide shortage of semiconductors. In addition, the success of its rival Xbox Series X / S has heated things up in the last two years.
Sony CEO did not explain how they came up with a solution to the semiconductor shortage. He just said that Sony has fixed the problem and they will bring more consoles to market in 2023. Of course, he thinks it will spread first to the Asian market, then to the USA and Europe.
