The wait might be finally over
It’s been over two years, and I, like many others out there, havestill yet to secure a PS5. While I’ve been resigned to a life without the newest console due to bots, scalpers, and other customers that have faster internet than me, it seems there might finally be hope for those of us who still don’t have a console.
According to anew financial report from Sonypublished on July 29, they have plans to reach their projection of 18 million units sold in 2022. There was also a detail included in the report that there have been “significant improvements” to Sony’s supply chain, meaning the issues that have been plaguing the PS5’s production may well be coming to a close. Most importantly, the company said that they’re “working to bring-forward more supply into the year-end holiday selling season.”
Sounds like it should be smooth(er) sailing for consumers as the months go on.
I’ve even heard anecdotes recently of the PS5 not selling out instantly once itbecomes availablethrough Sony, so there’s a chance we’re already seeing the positive effects of supply chain improvements.
I personally gave up the search a long time ago, mostly because there aren’t a ton of games out there I’ve been itching to play that have been released just yet, but I’d be lying if I said I wouldn’t jump at the chance to playReturnalorRatchet & Clank: Rift Apartif given the chance. It’s like, my backlog is big enough I don’tneedto play those games right now, but I’d like to, you know?
Anyway, it’s pretty heartening to hear I won’t have to panic my way through a PS5 purchase in the coming months. I might just have to buy one for myself as a Christmas present — and apink controller and console coverwhile I’m at it.
