PS4 production will repor🗹tedly continue due to the scarcity of PS5 co♋nsoles, it's been claimed.

This new claim comes from a report by , which reports that Sony has apparently informed assembly partners it'll continue manufacturing PS4 consoles through 2022. Apparent𓆉ly, this equates to roughly one million more PS4 consoles created over the year.

This, according to the Bloomberg report, is chiefly because the PS4 requires a far less advanced chip to manufacture than the PS5. There's been no shortage of reports on the scarcity of advanced chips for current-gen console manufacturing over the last year, as both Sony and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Microsoft have had their manufacturing targets constra🦩ined by a lack♌ of components.

So far at least, both the standard and disc-less versions of the PS5 console have been in short supply around the world. The shortage of consoles hasn't been helped by scalpers, who have routinely pounced on retail listings for PS5, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Xbox Series X, and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Xbox Series S consoles to snap up new units, in some cases even using bots to circumvent queues and purchase stock before they're even put up ᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚfo🍌r sale.

Still, this hasn't stopped the PS5 from becoming the 澳洲幸运5ꦇ开奖号码历史查询:fastest-selling PlayStation console ever. Last year in July, Sony announced that the new-gen console had surpassed 10 million units sold in just 248 days, beating out the previous 10 million milestone record held by the PS4. It's a strong start for a console that Sony already has 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:some incredibly lofty ambitions for.
