The PlayStation 5’s worldwide stock shortage is likely to continue for some time.
Sony chief financial officer Hiroki Totoki told Bloombergthat they expect to have difficulty meeting the console’s demand by 2022.
“I don’t think demand has settled this year, and even if we secure more device stock next year and produce a lot of PlayStation 5s, our stock won’t meet demand,” Hiroki Totoki said.
“We’ve sold over 100 million PlayStation 4s, and considering the market share and reputation we have, I can’t imagine demand falling easily.”
Sony sold 7.8 million PlayStation 5s in fiscal year 2020, ending March 31, 2021, and wants to sell at least 14.8 million PlayStation 5s in the new fiscal year ending March 31, 2022.
