Sony's actions are the exact opposite of Microsoft's. According to a Bloomberg report, Sony had planned to stop production of PS4s by the end of 2021, but in response to the PS5 shortage, Sony plans to produce more PS4s by the end of 2022, providing consumers with a more price-friendly alternative to PS5.
