WHAT IS DELAYING THE RELEASE OF PS5’S?
The PlayStation 5 console has been in high demand since its initial release last year. But what is causing the hold-up on stock?
PlayStation bigwig Jim Ryan explained that a combination of factors have delayed the supply chain, admitting the pandemic has mad it “a little more complicated than would normally be the case”.
“You know, one very visible example is the difficulties in the semiconductor market. You know, whether it’s automobiles, smartphones, PCs or games consoles, the problems in all those areas are very widely documented,” he told GQ.
“We had to move to a distribution model that is entirely online and that’s something that we never had to do before. And, finally, just the level of demand for PlayStation 5. So, you know, all of those things kind of combined.”
Ryan promised the supply will continue to increase as each month passes, giving him high hopes the relentless production situation will improve soon.
