A new report alleges that Sony will limit PS5 production in 2020 over concerns of a high price at launch.
Sources speaking to Bloomberg have alleged that “the Tokyo-based tech giant is limiting its initial production run in part because it expects the PS5’s ambitious specs to weigh on demand by leading to a high price at launch. The report continues to allege that only 5-6 million PS5 units will be available to consumers until March 2021; in that same time period, the PS4 solder 7.5 million units.
Bloomberg’s report also alleges that Sony rushed its DualSense reveal, leading to some confusion about the PS5’s controller. As an example, news that the controller would offer an in-built mic lead to speculation of whether or not it would support a traditional headset (it will, for those wondering).
The report comes at the same time speculation is running rampant that Ghost of Tsushima will be pushed back from June to August on PS4.
