The PS5 might have to be redesigned to keep up with demand, Sony's CFO has hinted.
As first spotted by , the comment came as part of Sony's annual earnings report, where the subject of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:PS5 stock came up. "The shortage of semiconduc♓tors is one factor, but there are other factors that will impact on the production volume," said CFO Hiroki Totoki, before adding that Sony has the means to cope, saying "for example, we could find maybe a secondary resource, or by changing the design."
It's a pretty big statement from Totoki, and gives a look at just how strained the demand of semiconductor parts are for Sony's next-gen console. The lack of semiconductor parts needed to produce the PS5 is nothing new, after all, as manufacturer AMD previously revealed that they expected "澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:some tightness" in the co🌊ming ♛few months due to semiconductor shortages.
Of course, Totoki isn't talking about a massive overhaul of the PS5 here. Rather than talking about fundamentally changing the design of the console on a noticeable level, the CFO is instead theorizing about changing the internal schematics of the console itself to better suit manufacturing. Here's hoping there's an increase in semiconductor parts in the not-too-distan🗹t future.
