There are rumors that Sony will cut production from the PS5 which will be released next Christmas holiday season. According to a Bloomberg report, this is due to problems with the availability of components to assemble the PS5.
Reporting from The Verge, Sony plans to cut production by up to four million units from the previous plan. As a result of this cut, the number of PS5 production until March 2021 is estimated to only reach 11 million.
This plan is clearly changed from the previous report which stated that Sony will boost PS5 production to 10 million units by the end of December 2020. This happened because of a component problem designed by AMD.
