We should be able to get started with the PlayStation 5 at the end of this year, so the new game console is yet to be released, but that does not alter the fact that there are already analysts who predict that the PS5 will be a great success.
At least that is what is claimed at Digitimes. They in turn rely on the production chain in Taiwan, which is also used to produce the PS5.
Big successes for the PS5
You should always take these kinds of messages with a grain of salt, because at this moment you don’t even know how much the PS5 will cost when it is in the store. Nevertheless, there is a lot of confidence. That is partly due to the fact that the PlayStation 4 has done so incredibly well. It is in line with expectations that the successor will do at least as well or even a little better.

The PlayStation 4 has now sold around 110 million times worldwide. It is expected that another 10 million will be added by the end of this year. So that is in seven years. Usually a game console lasts between five and seven years before a successor. That is in this case the PS5. Depending on how long this game console remains current, the company in Taiwan expects to ship between 120 and 170 million copies of the new game console.
Production is on schedule
Incidentally, it seems that despite all corona problems worldwide, the PS5 production is reasonably on schedule. At this time, the processors for the new game console are being shipped and it is planned that the chipsets will be delivered this quarter so that the first game consoles can be sold in the fourth quarter.
