A variety of factors could cause PS5 stock to be limited in its first year.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

According to a new Bloomberg<\/a> report, Sony is planning to manufacture fewer PS5<\/strong> units in the console’s first year, compared to PS4.<\/p>\n

Although production capacity is unaffected, disruption caused by the coronavirus pandemic along with the console’s expected higher price may drive demand down. People familiar with Sony’s supply chain say they expect 5 to 6 million units to be produced before the end of March 2021 (the current fiscal year). By comparison, Sony sold 7.5 million units in the PS4’s first six months.<\/p>\n

Full production is set to begin by June, but worldwide travel bans and lockdowns have caused unforeseen problems in other areas. For instance, the report says the company’s board of directors are unable to meet in person to decide on certain details. Sony’s hardware engineers are also unable to fly to assembly factories to oversee the process.<\/p>\n
