The PS5 is on track to be Sony's strongest-performing console.
Sony CEO Kenichiro Yoshida has said that the company is to accelerate the supply of PS5 units in the next fiscal year, and is predicting sales of more than 22.6 million units per year. This would see the PS5 console sales reach the largest ever total in the history of PlayStation. This statement came from a Sony Group shareholder meeting (via ResetERA).
While Sony may be targeting a strong generation, the company has confirmed that it expects shortages of the PS5 to continue until 2022. Since both the PS5 and Xbox Series X went on sale, many units were picked up by scalper groups, with over 60,000 consoles being resold in November 2020 alone. The problem persisted and UK politicians aimed to take action.
