Sony has responded to reports suggesting the company was producing more consoles Playstation 4 to deal with the shortage of Playstation 5. Chatting with the Japanese portal NLab, a company spokesperson mentioned that it was never in their plans to stop production of the PS4 late last year, and they certainly aren’t producing more of these consoles to make up for the limited availability of their new platform.
On the one hand, producing a million PS4 more wouldn’t mean much in the grand scheme of things. SonyIn addition to generally speaking, the Japanese giant has always supported its systems for longer than usual. Of course, the previously mentioned report provoked all kinds of reactions on social networks, and many users came to criticize the phrase of JimRyan, CEO of Sony Interactive Entertainment, saying that “we believe in generations”. It was also thought that this would mean the release of more cross-gen games.
And then we have the case of microsoft, who confirmed that the production of the family of systems Xbox One ended at the end of 2020 to focus on new Xbox Series X|S. However, the signing of Redmond you are dealing with the same problem Sony: the lack of chips and microcomponents that is affecting practically the entire technology sector, and that is drastically slowing down the production of these new consoles.
Publisher’s note: The situation is definitely weird, since on the one hand it would make sense for Sony to increase the production of the PS4, especially considering that games like God of War Ragnarok and Horizon Forbidden West will come to this platform. And it is that to date, getting a PS5 is still a fairly complicated task.
