How long will a PS5 last? The life-cycle of the PlayStation 5 should last for “six to seven years,” according to Sony’s Masayasu Ito, who was interviewed by Game Informer as part of a big feature about the first 25 years of the PlayStation brand. As Ito noted in the interview, the gaps between consoles are getting shorter.
Why is PS5 short supply?
He commented in a briefing call with investors (translated by VGC) that the PS5 stock is still in very short supply, saying that the company originally planned on producing 22.6 million consoles by this point of the system’s life cycle but reduced the target to 18 million due to component constraints.
Will PS5 ever be widely available?
The big question now is whether the PS5 will become readily available by Christmas 2022. Re-stocks are expected between now and the end of the year, but they’re likely to be sporadic, so you’ll still have to be alert if you hope to buy a console for the next few months.
Why is PS5 so hard to get 2022?
