PS5: Sales targets are to be achieved despite delivery bottlenecks

Sony still has difficulty to serve the demand for the PS5. Although 13.4 million copies of the New Gen console have been delivered so far, the difficulties in the supply chain have the potential paragraph.

Sony wants to hold on to the plans specified. The company has set itself the goal of delivering more than 14.8 million ps5 consoles in March 2022, and thus exceed the number of PS4 consoles delivered at the same phase of the console s life cycle.

9.2 million consoles are still missing

It will be tight: In the first quarter of GJ21 (April to June 2021), 2.3 million ps5 consoles were delivered. Today, the report followed that another 3.3 million consoles could be sent to the great journey in the second quarter. In the first six months, the number of PS5 consoles delivered in the current financial year increased to 5.6 million.

In order to achieve the target target, Sony must deliver more than 9.2 million ps5 copies in the second half of the GJ21, which seems to be feasible. For comparison, 7.8 million was delivered in the last six months of the GJ20. Anyway, the plans should not be changed.

At the present time, there is no change of our sales target for the PS5 hardware for the GJ21, but several factors have a significant effect on the delivery of the product, such as: For example, the interruption of the global distribution chain and restrictions on delivery of components, in particular semiconductors, said Hiroki Totoki, Deputy CEO of Sony s Chief Financial Officer.

Later he added: In the second year of PS4, 14.8 million units were delivered. We had the goal of surpassing this number, and we did not change this goal.
