Sony Aims to Increase PS5 Supply For Holiday Season as Component Availability Improves Significantly

During Sony’s quarterly conference call, chief financial officer Hiroki Totoki talked about the situation of the PlayStation business.

It will be hard to do that. The supply issues are affecting so many areas...

[Vengeance1138]

The title literally says supply issues have improved significantly so no it won't be a problem.

[Army_of_Darkness]

Supply significantly improving sounds very promising. Gonna be quite interesting to see who sells more consoles this holiday.

[CaptainHenry916]

"Gonna be quite interesting to see who sells more consoles this holiday."

With GOW launching this holiday and if Sony says what's true about the supply in this article, I know which console will sell more this holiday.

[darkrider]

They already told this before...

[LittleChris2016]

Your all title readers, in the article he said he "Hopes" that this will be completely resolved going forward, not that it is a certain. I really hope it does get solved and everyone can get their hands on one as I'm waiting for one myself, but stop reading just titles and read the actual article, that's the problem with you kids these days, you see a headline and if it aligns with your hopes then there's no need to dig any further....Tiktok generation

People were doing that long before TikTok.

I did. Last year they told they got enough chips. The reality wasn't that. Now they are again saying the same. Sony is having huge shortage of supply since November... They got weeks selling 120k or 140k...

[neutralgamer1992]

I saw actual PS5's for sale at the Walmart so that is a good sign

darkrider

Not really since XSX has been available in stores for a long time now

[thesoftware730]

I have never seen an SX in stores or a PS5 lol.

I do see SS though, my local Walmart had like 5-6 SS.

[neutralgamer1992]

Yes I was surprised to see actual next generation consoles in store haha. And readily available instead of seeing pictures of the lucky few who got them

I think supply issues will be resolved a lot sooner than we think. Ms had already figured it out and XSX is available at most stores and PS5 is also becoming available. This is great news for gamers and even better news for scalpers now they can move on to scalping other things

[Obscure_Observer]

"It will be hard to do that. The supply issues are affecting so many areas..."

No more excuses for you.

[darthv72]

So you just are never optimistic... about anything. Always downplaying Series sales and now doubting Sony with improving mfg.

[darkrider]

I just Dont believe it will get better. There is a huge crisis hitting the world. The war in Ukraine and the fear for Taiwan.... Series sales are pointless. They don't have games for a year. Who cares about sales of something that doesn't have new games...

[Fonsecap]

After 2 years of its launch there is a tiny possibility that you may have the opportunity to go to a store, in the holiday season, so, in about half a year, and get out with a ps5 on your hands... After 2 years... That's rich

[crazyCoconuts]

And what a crappy two years it's been. Hope you get one soon and get to catch up on some of the games you've been missing

[Fonsecap]

I have one, I'm just comment and saying it's bad for those who don't have

[46player]

Bring on the PS5 Pro! Time for an upgrade!

[phoenixwing]

You should buy a PC if you want to upgrade so constantly

[Shiore2u]

Plus he'd at least have more than five games after two years of ownership.

[jznrpg]

Nothing much releasing on PC only worth getting or I would build one again .

[46player]

I will have a PS5 for sale in excellent condition for retail price at the TBD date. 👍🏼

[Good-Smurf]

Good now it just a matter of I saved up enough for PS5 as I gradually buying its games in anticipation for months now.

[kayoss]

Finally, I can get a 5th one to resell and make extra money to feed my 6 children and my pet llama.

[Shadow Man]

I hope so, I’ve been holding back to buy a ps5 until I see a bundle with a few games.

[MichaelKnight83]

Reading the article Sony may raised the price of the PlayStation 5 due to inflation smh

[Eonjay]

The question was in response to procurement difficulties affecting hardware prices to which they declined to talk about prices. He never said prices may be going up. He simply said that he doesn't have anything to share about prices. To me this means we shouldn't expect an increase or a decrease.

[MichaelKnight83]

Keyword I said (May) Sony may do that i hope not but you do not know if Sony won't increase the price of the PS5 all i was saying is that this might turn out to be true

[MichaelKnight83]

Do you work for N4g or Sony ? lol

[Eonjay]

That's equivalent to saying "the absence of evidence is not the evidence of absence'

[MichaelKnight83]

Go watch SpongeBob SquarePants and drink some baby milk 😂

[Retroman]

Scalpers be right on it waiting.....

[KillaJamm]

Company looks to increase supply for a major holiday, whoever came up with that idea needs a raise!

[S2Killinit]

The more the merrier

[sourOG]

How about letting me register for a chance to buy a jotnar edition. Let me have a chance Lmao.

[anast]

They are going to kill it this holiday.

[giovonni]

Well from a business stand point they better. Because the holiday season is the largest spending season of the year.
