Sony PlayStation 5 models sold more than expected throughout the year. This makes it difficult to supply the necessary materials for production.
PlayStation 5 was undoubtedly the game console that marked the year. Their stocks were constantly exhausted and they continued to be sold at high prices. This problem was not only a problem for us but also for other countries. Because there was such a demand for the console that Sony could not catch up with this demand. These demands still continue. So what will Sony do in response to this situation?
Sony announced that the PlayStation 5 models will face an under-supply problem even by 2022. This means Sony’s newest and most up-to-date game console will have limited sales figures.
