Sony Boosts PlayStation 5 Production in the Middle of Pandemic

Jakarta, Cellular.ID – Sony expects an increase in PlayStation 5 demand during the Covid-19 pandemic. It now chooses to increase the number of its newest gaming console production.

According to a report from Bloomberg, PlayStation 5 this year will produce 10 million units. That’s an increase of 50 percent from before, which is only 5 million units. Meanwhile, a report from the Nikkei said Sony’s new production target was 9 million PlayStation 5 units.

It is said, production increased because Sony predicts that many players are trapped at home because of the Covid-19 pandemic, thus requiring gaming consoles such as PS 5 to entertain themselves, as quoted by The Verge, Friday (17/7).

The technology brand also boosts Dual-Sense production, with a value of more than 10 million units. However, on the other hand, the pandemic also had an impact on Sony’s supply chain. In other words, the company might not be able to send 10 million units by the end of the year.
