PlayStation 5 shortages are expected to continue into 2022, according to Sony Group chief financial officer Hiroki Totoki. <\/span><\/p>\n
Speaking to analysts in a private briefing after Sony Group\u2019s latest financial results announcement, Totoki said it has been challenging to keep up with strong demand due to shortages in components such as semiconductors.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t think demand is calming down this year and even if we secure a lot more devices and produce many more units of the PlayStation 5 next year, our supply wouldn\u2019t be able to catch up with demand,\u201d Totoki said at the briefing, according to several people who attended and relayed the information to Bloomberg<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Totoki continued, \u201cWe have sold more than 100 million units of the PlayStation 4 and considering our market share and reputation, I can\u2019t imagine demand dropping easily.\u201d<\/p>\n
PlayStation 5 shipped 7.8 million units between its November 12, 2020 release date and March 31, 2021, and is expected to ship at least another 14.8 million units by March 31, 2022.<\/p><\/div>\n
