“After 18 months, PS5 has cleared 20 million units sold
SONY CLAIMS IT WILL ‘SIGNIFICANTLY RAMP-UP’ CONSOLE PRODUCTION. Speaking to GI.biz, the company said that it was planning a ‘significant ramp-up’ in console production for the remainder of the year. “Since PS5’s launch, our teams have worked tirelessly to deliver a truly next-gen gaming console that has won the world over and the we want to take this time to thank the fans for their support. Sony’s most recent previous PS5 global sales figure, 19.3 million, was shared last month. Sony has said it expects to sell 56% more PS5s during its current financial year compared to the previous period, and claimed that even this won’t satisfy consumer demand.”

From Ars Technica

“Sony expects PS5 will still be in short supply until 2023. 60% increase in annual console production not expected to satisfy customer demand. If you’re a potential PlayStation 5 owner who has been unable to find the console on store shelves over the last 18 months, Sony has good news and bad news for you. The good news is that the company now expects to produce 18 million PlayStation 5 units worldwide for the current fiscal year, which runs through March 2023. That projection, from the company’s latest earnings report, is up over 60 percent from the 11.2 million PS5 units produced and sold in the last fiscal year. The bad news is that Sony thinks that increase still won’t be enough to satisfy the sky-high demand for the PS5 in the coming months. “We feel that there was a little bit higher demand than that [18 million units],” Sony Executive Deputy President and CFO Hiroki Totoki said during an investor Q&A portion of the call. “If the question is whether we can meet the demand, I think [we are] still short somewhat.”

“PS5 Pro guide: What to expect from the next-generation of PlayStation 5 hardware. With rumors of a PS5 Pro set to launch in 2023 or 2024, we look at the possibilities of a hardware refresh. So, with that all in mind, could a PS5 Pro really be set to launch as early as next year? Ultimately, the PS4 Pro launched three years after the PS4 made its debut. It was an answer to advancements in technology far outstripping what the home consoles could reasonably handle, and it made sense to push for advancements in fidelity and performance to avoid players getting left behind when compared to what PC gamers would soon be enjoying. It’s unclear whether a PS5 Pro will be as necessary in 2023, although improvements and price reductions to 8K TVs – and a shift in stock, price, and quality of desktop graphics cards – could change all that. It’s difficult to predict what the PS5 Pro specs could look like. According to a new report, the PS5 Pro performance should be double that of the base PS5, but couldn’t give exact specs or even reported hardware inclusions.At the very least, it’s worth considering that there are a number of features that the PS5 is missing and which early adopters are lamenting. This includes 1440p output support, along with Dolby Atmos and Dolby Vision compatibility. Whether these additions would necessitate a fully-fledged PS5 Pro remains to be seen, but they are still high on the PS5 wishlist for features. Of course, the PS5 is a bit of a beast, able to output capably at 4K, at a solid 60 FPS, ray-tracing continues to impress, and what small implementations of 120hz gaming have been dazzling too. If there were to be a PS5 Pro hardware refresh, many will be hoping to see a console which is capable of hitting peak performance of 4K at 60FPS with ray-tracing enabled.
