Sony is reportedly going to extend their production of Playstation 4 consoles as the company continues their battle with shortages for the Playstation 5 console that has extended well beyond a year.
According to Bloomberg, Sony had plans top cease production of Playstation 4 consoles in 2021, but had recently informed it’s manufacturing partners that is will continue production of the consoles for another year, which could yield around 1 million available units ready for sale by the end of 2022.
Sony changing their stance reflects the ongoing shortages of the Playstation 5 console, and they are hoping that going this route will allow them to help improve production of the Playstation 5 for the future.
Playstation 5 sold 3.3 million units in Q2 of 2021, which rivaled the sales that were made in Q4 of 2020, the launch, and has sold 13.4 million units since it’s release back in November 2020, according to their financial report (h/t VG247)
