PlayStation 5 production has been dramatically scaled up, according to multiple reports.
Both Bloomberg and Nikkei Asian Review have detailed a boost in output this year to between 9m and 10m units, up from an expected 6m back in March (thanks, GI.biz).
Sony’s decision reportedly reflects a surge in projected demand for the console, as well as a re-opening of China’s manufacturing process following the impact of the coronavirus pandemic.
Whether these extra consoles will make it to shop shelves here in the UK in time for Christmas is unknown, though the console is reportedly now in mass production with 5m units due by September, and up to 5m more expected before the year’s end.
