Plus, many of the most exciting releases for the PS5 – looking at you, Horizon Forbidden West and God of War: Ragnarok – are coming to PS4, too, so if someone was holding out on a PS5 as their first Sony console to play these games, they can technically experience them on the PS4 (which will be much easier and cheaper to obtain).
PS5 PRODUCTION PS4
However, Bloomberg reports that someone familiar with Sony’s plans for console manufacturing said PS4 production was going to end in 2021, but now, due to the new-gen shortage, it is going to produce another million PS4s in 2022.Īs Bloomberg notes, the PS4 uses older chips so it won’t interfere with PS5 production, and due to the console’s age, it’s easy to produce and cheaper to manufacture. 'In the second quarter 6.5 million units, we are able to produce that amount, and sales of the PS5 have been according to the plan,' he said. What's important to note here is that based on what Sony has publicly said, it isn't making more PS4's solely in response to the PS5 shortage – it’s just continuing production as usual, which includes the manufacturing of PS4s. PS5 production during the quarter was not significantly impacted by semiconductor and other parts shortages, according to Totoki, something that hampered its productivity earlier in the year. “It is one of the best-selling consoles ever and there is always a crossover between generations,” a Sony spokesperson told Bloomberg, confirming that PS4 production is continuing.
