The launch phase of the PlayStation 5 in global markets faced many challenges that negatively impacted sales. Recently, however, Sony has begun to overcome these challenges and improve the production process to reach the current stage.
Today he said Kiichiro Urata, SIE's head of partner development and Japan-Asia relations said that demand for Sony's next-generation device is still very high. This was confirmed by Sony's fiscal year statement, but on the other hand, there are serious measures that Sony is taking to improve production.
Urata said the production process for the device has become better than ever. Even the quantities produced and the schedule for them have exceeded the company's expectations and plans.
Urata also confirmed that the Japanese market is seeing a high demand for the PlayStation 5, and Sony has already developed a plan to increase production at a rate that exceeds the normal situation, according to his description.
Sony announced last year that it is seeking new partners to improve the production process, while also testing new models to be put on the market, with faster production and lower cost.
Some sources say Sony has plans to produce a new model that will be lighter and will do without the disc drive, which will be sold separately.
There are also rumors that a slim version of the PS5 Slim is in the works. However, no details have been shared about this and it could be the same model that will forgo the unit.
