JAKARTA - Since its launch in 2020, PlayStation 5 (PS5) has experienced a shortage of units in many markets globally shortly after, but now Sony's boss says the apocalypse is over.
"Everyone who wants the PS5 will find it easier to find it in global retailers, from now on," said Sony Interactive Entertainment president Jim Ryan at the 2023 Consumer Electronics Show (CES).
Ryan added that unit availability had increased towards the end of last year, which allowed the company to sell 30 million units at once. This figure is about 5 million more than the last report released in November.
The PS5 supply increased towards the end of last year. I am pleased to say that December is the biggest month for sales of the PS5 console, and now we have sold more than 30 million units to consumers worldwide," Ryan said.
The PS5 was launched amid a global pandemic, resulting in the company experiencing a shortage of units as the tech industry faces a shortage of semiconductors that make manufacturing devices such as the PS5 much more difficult to produce.
Finding a new PS5 in retail is quite difficult for many people over the past two years. Back in December, Sony said it had solved supply problems in Asian territory, but now claims to have dealt with them around the world.
Launching Kotaku, Friday, December 6, brokers are still seen selling the PS5 console at an increased price on sites such as eBay.
If Sony can keep its promise, hopefully the console will be more widely available this year and at a reasonable price. Hopefully Sony will not experience the same availability problem when the PlayStation VR2 headset launches in February.
