While we are already talking about potential mid-generation consoles, the PS5 and the Xbox Series are still not found in our supermarkets, the fault of a shortage of semi-components which prevents manufacturers from offering decent stocks. Even a year and a half after the launch of this generation, finding these new machines is a nightmare, but sony assures us that all this will be sorted out very soon.
A market that will gradually stabilize
The manufacturer affirms in any case that it is doing everything possible to return the situation to normal. In the latest review of the group presented by Jim Ryan, we can see that the PS5 is slightly behind the PS4 if we compare the course of the two machines, despite the very successful launch of the PS5.
It is especially in the fiscal year 2021/2022 that this last console has fallen a little behind, and according to Sony’s forecasts, this delay will increase in 2022/2023, before reducing considerably during the year 2023 and until exceeding the progression curve of the PS4 from 2024. Sony therefore indicates here that stocks should start to be sufficient from 2023, but especially from 2024, if we are to believe the curve above.
For this, Sony wants to multiply its suppliers to better compensate for the lack of components, but also to establish new logistical negotiations to ensure more deliveries of PS5.
Clearly, finding a PS5 in 2022 will still risk being complicated, and we cross our fingers for 2023.
