"Sony’s PlayStation 5 supply issues don’t look like they’ll be letting up anytime soon.
Speaking to Russian news outlet TASS, Sony Interactive Entertainment CEO Jim Ryan said the next-generation console will continue to experience steep stock shortages for the foreseeable future.
“Everything is sold. Absolutely everything is sold,” Ryan said. “I’ve spent much of the last year trying to be sure that we can generate enough demand for the product. And now in terms of my executive bandwidth, I’m spending a lot more time on trying to increase supply to meet that demand.”
Ryan added that the COVID-19 pandemic had made things “challenging from the production side,” with Sony workers not being able to get into its factories in Asia during lockdowns.
“I wouldn’t plan on doing another big console launch in the midst of a global pandemic,” he said. “And I wouldn’t recommend it to anybody else.”
Sony have given scalpers around the world a huge profit opportunity, and announcing this is only going to make it worse.
Good luck getting a PS5 for a reasonable amount this side of Easter! A great chance for MS to gain some ground if they can get some consoles produced, they are probably having similar issues though.
