Sony said the company has stockpiled enough chips to produce PS5
At present, the entire semiconductor industry in the world is facing a serious shortage of goods, not only in the automotive industry, but actually, all kinds of electronic products are more or less affected by the ongoing global shortage.
Sony expects that the global semiconductor shortage problem will continue until next year. Earlier, the company said that even if it increases production capacity, it will not be able to respond to the market’s demand for Sony PS5 game consoles.
Therefore, if it encounters a semiconductor shortage problem, it may cause Sony to be unable to increase its production capacity at all, and the huge market demand will make it difficult to purchase Sony game consoles for a long time.
The interesting thing is that Sony’s latest news is that the company has already stockpiled enough chips, so it can start producing at full capacity to meet demand as much as possible.
Sony’s goal is to sell 14.8 million PS5 units this fiscal year. Together with the equipment sold before, this brings the total sales of PS5 to 22 million units at the end of the fiscal year.
Such a large number of devices naturally require countless parts, including the core processor, and the processor is currently affected by the shortage problem.
Sony’s chief financial officer said in an earnings conference call a few days ago that the company is not worried about the lack of cores in the semiconductor industry because Sony has already stockpiled enough hardware.
The company claims to have reached its sales target for this fiscal year. After a period of work, they have stocked up to produce PS5 hardware, which also includes the core processor.
Therefore, Sony only needs to focus on increasing production capacity to produce more equipment, and the newly produced equipment will reach the market faster for gamers to purchase.
