Sony's 2020 PlayStation 5 next-gen console is very popular in the circle, but due to the use of AMD's custom SoC, this game console has always had a shortage of supply, resulting in a shortage of supply in the market, and it is very difficult for players to buy it.
According to reports, in order to alleviate the supply problem and the game demand of players, Sony announced that it will continue to produce the previous generation of PlayStation 4 game consoles, and the production will reach 1 million units, which also delays the life cycle of the PS4. As a product released by Sony in 2013, the PS4 has sold hundreds of millions of units worldwide so far.
It is understood that Sony originally planned to stop the PS4 at the end of 2021, but the latest plan is to mass-produce 1 million units in 2022, and it will produce the PS4 throughout 2022. In response, a Sony spokesperson also said that "this is one of the best-selling consoles in history, and there will always be overlap in iterations between the two generations." ”
As for the problem of not being able to mass-produce enough next-generation game consoles due to the tight global chip supply, AMD CEO Dr. Su Zifeng has responded in a financial earnings conference call with investors, "Su Mama" said that Sony PS5 and Microsoft Xbox Series X/S are great game platforms, and AMD will increase the supply of chips this year.
It is understood that so far, the cumulative sales of Sony PS4 have reached 116 million, and the cumulative sales of PS5 have also reached 13.4 million units, and this number can continue to increase as Sony plans to continue to produce PS4 game consoles this year.
