PlayStation expect PS5 shortage to continue into 2022

Sony CFO Hiroki Totoki has recently said that the shortage of PS5 consoles will likely continue due to the demand even if they manage to boost their current output of the supply.

"I don't think demand is calming down this year and even if we secure a lot more devices and produce many more units of the PS5 next year, our supply wouldn't be able to catch up with demand," Totoki told investors, Bloomberg said.

"We have sold more than 100m units of the PlayStation 4 and considering our market share and reputation, I can't imagine demand dropping easily," he added.

On a more positive note, Sony recently confirmed they've sold 7.8m PS5 consoles during its last financial year to 31st March. It hopes to sell at least 14.8m during the current financial year

I'm personally own a PS5 and I don't think it's currently worth rushing out and buying but I think that'll change with the launch of Ratchet And Clank: Rift Apart.

Sony Announce Release Windows For Some Upcoming Games

CES 2021 started yesterday and came with a ton of awesome tech announcements that included Sony Revealing a bunch of release windows for some upcoming video games.

Jim Ryan kicked off the PlayStation part of the show by discussing the PlayStation 5's launch and the upcoming Uncharted movie and The Last of Us TV show, However, he quickly transitioned into a trailer for some games followed by a ton of details.

Kena: Bridge of Spirits is apparently set to launch sometime in March 2021, Solar Ash is expected June 2021, Little Devil Inside is expected July 2021 with Ghostwire Toyko and Stray scheduled for October 2021. Lastly, Project Athia isn't coming anytime soon with it set to arrive in 2022, while Capcom's Pragmata won't be on PS5 until 2023.

These are release windows so they can change at any point in time but it seems like PlayStation have a pretty packed year, especially when Deathloop is possibly coming in May and Ratchet And Clank: Rift Apart supposedly coming in 2021 too. Oh and Destruction AllStars on PlayStation Plus in February. It’s looking like a great but expensive year for PlayStation Players.
